Abstract: We developed a novel real-time PCR assay that simultaneously evaluates 11 major nucleos(t)ide antiviral (NA) drug resistance mutations (mt) in chronic hepatitis B patients (CHB), including L180M, M204I/V, and V207M (lamivudine [LMV] resistance), N/H238A/T (adefovir [ADF] resistance), which are circulating in Vietnam; and T184G/L, S202I, and M250V (entecavir [ETV] resistance) and A194T (tenofovir resistance), which have been recently reported in several studies across the globe.
