Abstract: Genotypic analysis showed that two Ethiopian isolates naturally harbored the mutations
K70R and
G190A associated with resistance to ZDV and
nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, respectively.
Abstract: Phenotypic assays revealed that the
K70R substitution in this context did not reduce susceptibility to ZDV, whereas the
G190A substitution resulted in high-level resistance to nevirapine (NVP).
