Abstract: The commonest RAM was
rtM204I/V, either alone or in combination with associated mutations, and identified in both reportedly treatment-naive and treatment-experienced adults.
Abstract: We also identified the suite of mutations
rtM204V/I +
rtL180M +
rtV173L, that has been associated with vaccine escape, in over 1/3 of cohorts.
Result: In addition to South Africa,
rtM204I/V was also frequent in Malawi among treatment experienced patients (n = 24/154, 16%) (Fig 3), and in genotype non-A infection: in this setting, the mutation was detected in genotype C infection (n = 2/17, 12%) (S2 Fig).
