Abstract: ADV resistance mutations (rtA181V/T and rtN236T) were detected alone or in combination for 11/14 patients, whereas novel substitutions were present in 3 patients.
Abstract: Before ADV treatment, apart from 3TC resistance signature mutations, additional changes were found, including the rtA181T mutation, which was already present in 2/14 ADV-resistant patients.
Abstract: CONCLUSIONS: Although most patients showed virological breakthrough because of the well known rtA181V/T and rtN236T substitutions, more complex patterns were also found.

Abstract: Proven sites of mutation of HBV DNA polymerase in naive patients were, for example, L80I, L180M, A181V/T, M204I and V207I.
Hepatitis B virus rtA181T/sW172non-stop mutation may increase resistance fold to adefovir- and entecavir-resistant mutants compared to rtA181T/sW172* mutation.

Abstract: CONCLUSIONS: The PCR-LDR assay can sensitively and specifically detect the rtA181V/T and rtN236T mutations, and may be used for monitoring ADV resistance in patients infected with HBV.
Abstract: We developed a sensitive and specific method for detecting the rtA181V/T and rtN236T mutations associated with ADV resistance in chronic hepatitis B patients, based on a ligase detection reaction (LDR).
Two types of drug-resistant hepatitis B viral strains emerging alternately and their susceptibility to combination therapy with entecavir and adefovir.
Abstract: At that time, rtA181T was undetectable and the virus with rtM204V and rtL180M became predominant.
Abstract: Combination therapy with ETV and ADV might have been effective because these drugs share therapeutic roles, that is, ETV affects the rtA181T-related virus and ADV affects the rtM204V-related virus.
Abstract: Efficacy of subsequent combination therapy with ADV and 3TC was limited because of reappearance of the virus with rtA181T, which might confer cross-resistance to 3TC and ADV.
Abstract: Initial 3TC monotherapy offered little benefit an
[Dissection of mechanism for the adefovir dipivoxil resistance in chronic hepatitis B patients].
Abstract: RESULTS: During 3TC and ADV therapy, 11 patients had rtM204V/I mutations, 2 had rtA181V/T or rtN236T, 7 had both and 2 had no 3TC- or ADV-related mutations.
Abstract: Relative abundances of rtM204V/I mutations in total viral populations gradually increased under ETV rescue, whereas those with rtA181V/T and rtN236T mutations decreased.
New approaches in the management of chronic hepatitis B: role of tenofovir.
Method: In vitro studies, however, show that both rtN236T and rtA181V/T HBV mutants remain sensitive to TDF, and are only associated with small decreases in susceptibility.
Tenofovir monotherapy is effective in hepatitis B patients with antiviral treatment failure to adefovir in the absence of adefovir-resistant mutations.
Abstract: Among patients with suboptimal virologic response, rtA181T, rtI233V, and rtN236T were present on clonal analysis in 3 patients.
Hepatitis B virus rtA181T/sW172non-stop mutation may increase resistance fold to adefovir- and entecavir-resistant mutants compared to rtA181T/sW172* mutation.
Abstract: In cell culture, the rtA181T/V mutation induced a decreased susceptibility to lamivudine (<10-fold), adefovir (2- to 8-fold) and tenofovir (2- to 3-fold).
Abstract: In this study, we characterized the main variants harboring the rtA181T/V mutation isolated from 10 consecutive patients who developed lamivudine and/or adefovir resistance.
Abstract: Interestingly, the association of rtA181T with rtN236T on one clinical isolate genome increased the resistance to these three drugs.
Abstract: RESULTS: Clonal analysis revealed the co-localization on the same HBV genome of rtA181T/V with
Low risk of adefovir resistance in lamivudine-resistant chronic hepatitis B patients treated with adefovir plus lamivudine combination therapy: two-year follow-up.
Abstract: At the beginning of ADV therapy, substitutions at rtA181 (rtA181T and rtA181S) were identified in 3 patients (2.3%).
Abstract: In the remaining 129 patients, the rtM204 mutants were identified at baseline, and two (1.6%) of the 129 patients developed new ADV-resistant mutants; one was rtA181S and another was rtA181T plus rtN236T mutation.
