Abstract: Zidovudine and other
nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors (
NRTIs), like zalcitabine and didanosine used for treatment of individuals infected with HIV-1, can select for viruses with
Q151M and other associated mutations (for example,
A62V,
S68G, V751,
F77L,
F116Y) in the
reverse transcriptase (
RT) enzyme.
