Replication of HIV introduces errors into the genome which are responsible for conferring a growth advantage over wildtype virus when drugs such as zidovudine (ZDV) exert a selective pressure. The molecular basis for HIV-1 resistance to ZDV has been mapped to codons 41, 67, 70, 215 and 219 of the reverse transcriptase gene both in vitro and in clinical samples of blood. This study has investigated the...
