Abstract: Here, we demonstrate that mutant M41L/D67N/K70R/S215Y HIV-2 RT lacks ATP-dependent excision activity, and recombinant virus containing this RT remains susceptible to AZT inhibition.
Abstract: Interestingly, recombinant HIV-2 carrying a mutant D67N/K70R/M73K RT showed 10-fold decreased AZT susceptibility and increased rescue efficiency on AZT- or tenofovir-terminated primers, as compared with the double-mutant D67N/K70R.

Frequent cross-resistance to rilpivirine among subtype C HIV-1 from first-line antiretroviral therapy failures in South Africa.
Method: In total, 94 of 100 samples from patients failing ARV treatment also carried HIV-1 NRTI resistane mutations including M184V (82%), K65R (35%), L74I (19%), M41L (17%) or D67N (17%).

Impact of Antiretroviral Regimens on Cerebrospinal Fluid Viral Escape in a Prospective Multicohort Study of Antiretroviral Therapy-Experienced Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1-Infected Adults in the United States.
Result: Given the high frequency of M184V/I detected in all samples (28%, 56/197), these mutations were combined with thymidine-analog mutations (TAMs; ie, M41L, L210W, T215Y, D67N, K70R, T215F, K219Q/E) for analysis.
Risk factors and outcomes for the Q151M and T69 insertion HIV-1 resistance mutations in historic UK data.
Result: The second study subject, also a Romanian citizen living in Cyprus, was also infected with a sub-subtype F1strain dual-class RT and PI resistant strain carrying D67N, K70R, M184V, T215F, Y181C, M46L, I54V and V82F mutations associated with drug resistance.

Abstract: Major NRTI mutations were detected in 11 patient samples, which included M184V (n = 6), M41L (n=3), D67N (n=2), K219Q (n=3) and T215F (n=2).
Result: Major NRTI mutations were detected in 11 patient samples, which included M184V (n=6), M41L (n=3), D67N (n=2), K219Q (n=3) and T215F (n=2).

Molecular Antiretroviral Resistance Markers of Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 of CRF01_AE Subtype in Bali, Indonesia.
Discussion: Molecular marker mutations in more than 50% of treatment failure patients were M184V, T215A/Y/F, D67N/G, and M41L.
Discussion: Molecular markers of TAMs, M184V (100%), T215A/Y/F (88.2%), D67N/G (76.5%), and M41L (58.8%), were found in more than 50% of treatment failure patients.
Discussion: There are two clusters of TAMs; cluster 1 includes substitutions of M41L, L210W and T215Y, while cluster 2 of D67N, K70R, T125F and
HIV-1 subtype diversity, transmission networks and transmitted drug resistance amongst acute and early infected MSM populations from Coastal Kenya.
Research on the treatment effects and drug resistances of long-term second-line antiretroviral therapy among HIV-infected patients from Henan Province in China.
Result: TAM (M41 L, K70R, L210 W, and T215F) and D67N mutations, associated with resistance to TDF, were detected during second-line ART.
Table: D67N
Discussion: TDF was used in the second-line program; the mutations associated with resistance to TDF were K65R, TAM (M41 L, K70R, L210 W, T215F), D67N, K70E, and Y115F.
Discussion: The D67N mutation, present with other TAMs, can result in reduced susceptibility to TDF.
