The emergence of zidovudine (3'-azido-2',3'-deoxythymidine)-resistant strains of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) from AIDS patients treated with zidovudine has been linked to six amino acid substitutions localized within the viral polymerase gene. Here, in 2 patients, three resistance mutations were detected by polymerase chain reaction amplification of HIV-1 polymerase (reverse transcriptase)...
