Frequency of UL97 Phosphotransferase Mutations Related to Ganciclovir Resistance in Clinical Cytomegalovirus Isolates
1 Jul 1995
Abstract excerpt
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) isolates from subjects who received ganciclovir therapy were tested for susceptibility to ganciclovir by a plaque reduction assay. Results were correlated with restriction enzyme and sequence analysis of the CMV UL97 phosphotransferase gene. Of the 30 isolates, 20 had one or more mutations in UL97 affecting amino acid encoding at codons 460, 520, or 591-596. All 20 were resistant to...
