Abstract excerpt
Both ganciclovir-sensitive and -resistant human cytomegaloviruses (HCMV) were isolated from a patient with aplastic anemia complicated with CMV retinitis and encephalitis. Ganciclovir-resistant clinical isolate, 93-1R, also showed cross-resistance against (s)-1-(3-hydroxy-2-phosphonylmethoxypropyl) cytosine (cidofovir). Molecular analysis of plaque-cloned strains revealed that a single nucleotide substitution at...
