Result: At baseline, mutations with a frequency of 20% and above were NRTI-related, such as M184VI (2.0%, 1/49), and NNRTI-related like K103N (14.3%, 7/49), E138AG (4.1%, 2/49), V179D (2.0%, 1/49) and P225H (2.0%, 1/49).
Result: In addition, NGS detected three more mutations in three patients: Y188C, E138A and K103N, at frequencies of 22.96%, 27.38% and 43.68%, respectively.
Result: The most common drug resistance mutation was K103N (13.2%), followed by V179D (6.3%) and E138AGK (3.5%).

Result: A total of 12 samples contained 13 NNRTIs-resistance mutations:V106I in 4 samples, V179E, V179D mutations each in 3 samples, E138A mutations in 2 samples and V106M in 1 sample.

Result: Interestingly, two samples, one collected in 2013 and the other in 2016, presented concurrently the mutations E138A, G140S, and Q148H, which confer high-level resistance to all INSTIs, including BIC (Table 2).
Result: Previous studies have demonstrated that HIV-1 patient samples harboring these mutations (E138EA, G140S, and Q148HKR) show high-level resistance to INSTIs, and these combinations were identified in 1.52% of our sequences.
Result: The E138EA and G140S mutations by themselves do not reduce or improve INSTIs susceptibility.
Result: The mos
HIV-1 Subtype C Drug Resistance Mutations in Heavily Treated Patients Failing Integrase Strand Transfer Inhibitor-Based Regimens in Botswana.
Method: The mutations of interest included: T66A/I/K, E92Q, G118R, E138K/A/T, G140S/A/C, Y143R/C/H, S147G, Q148H/R/K, N155H and R263K.
Result: The four individuals failing DTG cART but with no documented prior exposure to RAL, their selected DRMs were E138K, G140A, Q148K, A128T; G118R, E138K; N155ND and T66
Virologic outcomes of switching to dolutegravir functional mono- or dual therapy with a non-cytosine nucleoside analog: a retrospective study of treatment-experienced, patients living with HIV.
Method: Patients with the following baseline mutations associated with reduced susceptibility to DTG: T66K, E92Q, G118R, E138 K/A/T, G140 S/A/C, Q148 H/R/K, N155H and R263K were excluded.

Abstract: The overall prevalence of L74I in integrase and E138A in RT was 13.0% and 3.2%, respectively, and stable over the decade.
High HIV-1 Virological Failure and Drug Resistance among Adult Patients Receiving First-Line ART for At least 12 Months at a Decentralized Urban HIV Clinic Setting in Senegal before the Test-and-Treat.
Result: In subtype B one cluster with NNRTI K101H/E138A mutation was observed, in four sequence pairs there was also evidence of the shared resistance patterns (
Figure: As non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase E138A mutation is not included in the tDRM list, but is associated with significant reduction of susceptibility to rilpivirine, it was marked in violet.
Discussion: The remining observed NNRTI DRMs were accessory, potentially reducing susceptibility to etravirine or rilpivirine (E138A).
Discussion: We have previously observed the similar frequency (5.3%) of the rilpivirine associated DRMs with E138A and E138G being the most common DRM.
