Abstract: BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate the role of
K101Q,
Y181C and
H221Y emerging in HIV-1
reverse transcriptase with different mutations patterns in phenotypic susceptibility to currently available
NNRTIs (nevirapine NVP, efavirenz EFV) and
NRTIs (zidovudine AZT, lamivudine 3TC, stavudine d4T) in China.
Abstract: Certainly, the double mutation (
K101Q/
H221Y) also changes the susceptibility of viruses to
NRTIs.
