Abstract excerpt
The substitution of methionine by either isoleucine or valine at residue 460 in the UL97 phosphotransferase has been shown to be responsible for resistance to ganciclovir (GCV) in 30% of resistant cytomegalovirus (CMV) isolates [4]. These substitutions require one nucleotide change in the gene (G- > T 1 380 and A- > G 1378 respectively). The aim of this study was to develop a discriminative PCR assay for rapid...
