Result: Two secondary mutations that were potentially associated with resistance,
rtV207L and
rtN238T, were identified in one (6%) and five (33%) of the analysed samples, respectively.
Discussion: Although primary drug resistance changes in the
RT domains studied were completely absent, secondary drug resistance changes in domains C (
rtV207L) and D (
rtN238T) were identified in one (6%) and five (31%) samples, respectively, which were higher than previous reports, although the study group was small (n = 16) .
