Result: Transmitted drug resistance mutations (tDRM), based on WHO mutation list, were observed in one (0.6%)
protease (
L54M mutation), 6 (3.8%)
NRTI (mutations in the codon positions:
M41L,
D67N,
T215S/V,
K219Q) and two (1.1%) (both
E138K mutations)
integrase sequences (supplemental table 2).
Discussion: As expected the most common
NRTI DRMs were thymidine analog mutations, namely
M41L,
D67N,
T215S/V,
K219Q, associated with high levels of resistance to zidovudine, but also affect the abaca
