Abstract: Importantly, eight patients were already predicted to be resistant to etravirine, the new NNRTI, and three p
Result: Among the 46 ARV-resistant patients, 25 also harboured the M184V mutation conferring resistance to 3TC/FTC; among them, eight patients were also resistant to the other NRTI drug in their regimen because of the high number of TAMs (n = 4), or the presence of the Q151M (n = 1) or the K65R (n = 3) mutation.
Result: The presence of the K65R also means that tenofovir (TDF) will not be effective when used in the second-line regime, and the Q151M mutation commonly confers multi-drug resistance to NRTIs (AZT, ABC, ddI and d4T).

Abstract: NRTI cross-resistance was observed in 48.0% of 183 specimens available for genotypic analysis, comprising >=2 TAMs (37.7%), K65R (7.1%), K70E (3.3%), or Q151M (3.3%).
Abstract: Logistic regression assessed factors associated with multiple thymidine analogue mutations (TAMs) and NRTI cross-resistance (>=2 TAMs or Q151M or K65R/K70E).

Result: One participant who received EFV+d4T+3TC had four RT mutations (A62V, K65R, M184V, and K219E) in addition to two NNRTI-associated mutations.

Abstract: M184V/I was the most common nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor resistance mutation at 77.6%, the mutation rate for >=3 thymidine analogue mutations, Q151M, and K65R were 33%, 12%, and 9%, respectively.
Antiretroviral resistance patterns and factors associated with resistance in adult patients failing NNRTI-based regimens in the Western Cape, South Africa.
Abstract: Also reported are associations of therapy choice, prolonged virologic failure, and concurrent HIV viral load and CD4 count with the presence of M184I/V, TAMs, K65R, and resistance to ETV.
Abstract: In order to describe resistance patterns by genotypic testing, at the time of first-line ART failure and to describe associations with having M184I/V, K65R, three or more thymidine analog mutations (TAMs) and etravirine (ETV) resistance, the prevalence of antiretroviral drug resistance associated mutations in a cross-sectional study, at two South African public health clinic settings, at the time of virologic failure (HIV-1 RNA load >400 copies/ml) are described.
Abstract: Of 167 adult patients with virologic failure on first-line ART, 28 (17%) had no resistance, 137 (82%) had NNRTI resistance
Prevalence of M184V and K65R in proviral DNA from PBMCs in HIV-infected youths with lamivudine/emtricitabine exposure.
Abstract: 147 ARV-naive subjects were sequenced to 0.4% levels; 8.8% (13/147) had K65R low-level variants identified: 2.2% (2/92) in subtype B, 35.7% (10/28) in subtype C (P<0.001 for B versus C) and 3.7% (1/27) in non-B/C subtypes.
Abstract: BACKGROUND: It has been reported that treatment-naive individuals infected with HIV-1 subtype C may be more likely to harbour viral variants possessing a K65R reverse transcriptase gene mutation.
Abstract: CONCLUSIONS: Low-level K65R variants were more frequently identified in subtype C.
Abstract: RESULTS: A total of 411 treatment-naive individuals were evaluated by ultra-deep sequencing to 1% levels; 4 subjects (0.97%) had K65R vari

Result: Overall, 8/38 (21%) had one or more TAMs, three had A62V or V75I and only one patient had K65R.
Resistance patterns selected by nevirapine vs. efavirenz in HIV-infected patients failing first-line antiretroviral treatment: a bayesian analysis.
Result: More specifically, TDF, when compared with d4T, was found strongly associated with greater risk of mutations Y115F and K65R (PP[OR>1]>99%), and, with less clear evidence (PP[OR>1]>92) with greater risk of mutations Y181I, V179F, and A62V (Figure 2B).
Result: Of the nine K65R mutations observed, all were found in patients on NVP-based treatment, 6 among patients on TDF and 3 among those on d4T.
Result: When adjusted for the effects of failure duration, viral load and NRTI backbone, the analysis, presented in Figure 2A, showed that the use of a nevirapine-based regimen was associated with significantly increased risks of mutations G190A (the posterior probability of G190

Abstract: Thirty HIV-1 subtype C- and 26 subtype B-infected patients lacking K65R as determined by conventional sequencing methods were studied, and viral minority species were found in four HIV-1 subtype C samples.
Abstract: We have developed an allele-specific real-time PCR assay to explore the presence of K65R minority species among treated HIV-1 subtype B and C infections.
