Abstract excerpt
In cell culture, cidofovir (CDV) was used to select a human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) strain with decreased drug susceptibility. The genotypic characterization of this virus revealed a single base substitution resulting in a K513N amino acid alteration in the viral DNA polymerase (UL54). Performed in parallel, the selection of HCMV for replication in the presence of ganciclovir (GCV) selected an M460V substitution...
