Abstract: The
K65R mutation (AAG-->AGG) arose with tenofovir by week 12 in four subtype C selections.
Abstract: The
K65R transitions in subtype C and other subtypes (AGG and AGA) conferred similar 6.5-10-fold resistance to tenofovir and five to 25-fold cross-resistance to each of abacavir, lamivudine, and didanosine, while not affecting zidovudine susceptibility.
