Gag P2/NC and pol genetic diversity, polymorphism, and drug resistance mutations in HIV-1 CRF02_AG- and non-CRF02_AG-infected patients in Yaounde, Cameroon.
Method: Other major NRTIs resistance mutations detected included the multidrug resistance mutation T69D, the thymidine analogue mutation (TAM) T215F, and the non-TAMs K65R and Y115F (Table 3).
Method: These transmitted DRMs included major resistance mutations to NRTIs such as M184V, T69D, T215F, K65R, and Y115F; and major resistance mutations to non-Nucleoside/Nucleotide Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NNRTIs) such as Y181C,

Virological response, HIV-1 drug resistance mutations and genetic diversity among patients on first-line antiretroviral therapy in N'Djamena, Chad: findings from a cross-sectional study.
Abstract: Absence of K65R supports the use of tenofovir-containing regimens as preferred first-line and as suitable drug for second-line combinations, in this setting with significant HIV-1 genetic diversity.
Discussion: Of note, K65R, the main DRM to TDF was not detected, supporting TDF-containing NRTIs as preferred combinations to second-line LPV/r, as globally recommended.
HIV-1 viraemia and drug resistance amongst female sex workers in Soweto, South Africa: A cross sectional study.
Abstract: The observed mutations for NRTI were K65R, T215I and K219E (33.0% each) and for NNRTI: V106M, Y181C and Y188H (6.0% each).

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Virologic failure in subtype C is characterized by high resistance to first-line antiretroviral (ARV) drugs, including efavirenz, nevirapine, and lamivudine, with nucleoside resistance including type 2 thymidine analog mutations, K65R, a T69del, and M184V.
Abstract: Despite K65R with the T69del in 9 samples, tenofovir retained activity in >60%.
Abstract: Reversion of the K65R increased susceptibility to tenofovir and other nucleosides, while reversion of the T69del showed increased resistance to zidovudine, with little impact on other NRTI.

Abstract: Primary drug resistance mutations (K65R, M184V) and thymidine analogue-associated mutations (TAMs) were evaluated together as nucleos(t)ide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) mutations.

Abstract: As a follow-up, the in vitro characteristics of mutant HIV-1 containing RT-K65R and/or RT-M184V with IN-Q148R or IN-N155H were also evaluated, alone and in combination, for potential interactions.
Abstract: In clinical trials of coformulated elvitegravir (EVG), cobicistat (COBI), emtricitabine (FTC), and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), emergent drug resistance predominantly involved the FTC resistance substitution M184V/I in reverse transcriptase (RT), with or without the tenofovir (TFV) resistance substitution K65R, accompanied by a primary EVG resista

Result: Major signature NRTI mutations against TDF and FTC M184V (0.8%, n = 35), M184I (0.07%, n = 3), K65R (0.07%, n = 3), and K70E (0.04%, n = 2) were rarely observed.
Preexposure prophylaxis-selected drug resistance decays rapidly after drug cessation.
Abstract: In all four cases, K65R, K70E and M184IV were not detected prior to seroconversion, suggesting PrEP-related resistance was selected and not transmitted.
Abstract: We previously reported that PrEP-related mutations (K65R, K70E or M184IV) were detected by 454 sequencing following seroconversion in nine individuals who acquired HIV during the Partners PrEP Study.
Result: As reported previously, only 5 of the 9 case
Discussion: By 6 months after seroconversion (after PrEP was discontinued), resistance mutations K65R, K70E, and/or M184IV that were present at seroconversion were no longer detected, even with highly sensitive resistance testing.

Abstract: A specific focus was put on the prevalence of the tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) signature mutation K65R in HIV-1 RT in relation to the application of TDF within ART.
Abstract: The prevalence of K65R decreased from 2.6 % in 2005 to 0.2 % in 2012 despite increased use of TDF-containing ART.
