چکیده

Slide 2 CMV Resistance – Typical Setting As with our last talk, let us begin with a case where CMV drug resistance became a management problem. This case was published earlier this year because I got involved in studying a new mutation that showed up. However, the case actually illustrates a number of other features of interest and shows a somewhat typical setting, where the management of resistance becomes problematic.

Incidence of ganciclovir resistance in CMV-positive renal transplant recipients and its association with UL97 gene mutations

Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) remains the most common infection affecting organ transplant recipients. Despite advances in the prophylaxis and acute treatment of CMV, it remains an important pathogen affecting the short- and long-term clinical outcome of solid organ transplant recipient. The emergence of CMV resistance in a patient reduces the clinical efficacy of antiviral therapy, complicates t...

Prevalence of antiviral drug resistance in untreated patients with cytomegalovirus retinitis.

The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of UL97 resistance mutations in cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA amplified from the eyes of patients with AIDS and newly diagnosed CMV retinitis. Relevant segments of the CMV UL97 gene were amplified from vitreous humor, after which restriction digest screening was performed for resistance mutations at codons 460, 520, 591, 592, 594, 595, and 6...

Detection of cytomegalovirus drug resistance mutations by next-generation sequencing.

Antiviral therapy for cytomegalovirus (CMV) plays an important role in the clinical management of solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients. However, CMV antiviral therapy can be complicated by drug resistance associated with mutations in the phosphotransferase UL97 and the DNA polymerase UL54. We have developed an amplicon-based high-throughput sequencing strategy for detec...
