Single Amino Acid Change in DNA Polymerase Is Associated with Foscarnet Resistance in a Varicella‐Zoster Virus Strain Recovered from a Patient with AIDS
1 Nov 1998
Abstract excerpt
The genetic characterization of a foscarnet-resistant strain of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) that was isolated from a patient with AIDS is reported. Compared with the sequence of the Dumas reference strain, this strain, which was isolated from a patient in whom foscarnet treatment failed, had two point mutations. The emergence of one of the mutations, which includes a change from a glutamic acid to a lysine at...
