Drug resistance mutations in drug-naive HIV type 1 subtype C-infected individuals from rural Malawi.
In this preliminary study we show that in 2008, 3 years after antiretroviral therapy was introduced into the Karonga District, Malawi, a greater than expected number of drug-naive individuals have been infected with HIV-1 subtype C virus harboring major and minor drug resistance mutations (DRMs). From a sample size of 40 reverse transcriptase (RT) consensus sequences from drug-naive individuals...
متن کاملThe molecular epidemiology and drug resistance determination of HIV type 1 subtype B infection in Barbados.
To better understand the emergence of HIV-1 variants in Barbados and the association with transmission modes, we analyzed phylogenetic relationships and genetic variability among HIV-1 strains collected in 1996 from 36 antiretroviral therapy-naive patients. Only subtype B variants were present in this sampling, based on analysis of HIV-1 envelope (env) C2V3, protease (PR), and reverse transcrip...
متن کاملDiversity and complexity of HIV-1 drug resistance: a bioinformatics approach to predicting phenotype from genotype.
Drug resistance testing has been shown to be beneficial for clinical management of HIV type 1 infected patients. Whereas phenotypic assays directly measure drug resistance, the commonly used genotypic assays provide only indirect evidence of drug resistance, the major challenge being the interpretation of the sequence information. We analyzed the significance of sequence variations in the prote...
متن کاملInsulin resistance in acute and early HIV-1 subtype C infection
A thorough characterization of the acute and early phases of HIV-1 infection is necessary to better understand the natural history of this disease. The period following seroconversion of subtype B of the virus has been studied extensively in North America and Europe. However, there is a need for better data on subtype C infection which is responsible for greater than 95% of heterosexual infecti...
متن کاملHIV-1 Subtype C, Tenofovir, and the Relationship With Treatment Failure and Drug Resistance
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) has emerged as a cornerstone of initial antiretroviral therapy (ART) [1, 2]. However, human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV) subtype C, the most prevalent worldwide subtype, accounting for >50% of all HIV infections, harbors polymorphisms in reverse transcriptase codons 64, 65, and 66, which lead to more-rapid in vitro selection of the K65R mutation [3], t...
