Method: Dolutegravir resistance categories were as follows: (i) no resistance, absence of
Q148H/R/K; (ii) low-level resistance,
Q148H/R/K in the absence of
G140S/A/C,
L74I and
E138A/K/T; (iii) intermediate-level resistance,
Q148H/R/K with one of the mutations
G140S/A/C,
L74I or
E138A/K/T; and (iv) high-level resistance,
Q148H/R/K with two or three of the mutations
G140S/A/C,
L74I and
E138A/K/T.
