Conclusion: Two adefovir resistant mutations,
rtA181T and
rtN236T, were detected, whereas previous lamivudine resistant mutations,
rtL180M and
rtM204V, were absent.
Discussion: reported recently decreased in vitro susceptibility to both tenofovir and adefovir of two HBV resistant mutants (
N236T adefovir and
L180M +
M204V +
N236T lamivudine/adefovir resistant strains).
