Method: In this study, HIV-2 resistance mutations were identified using the list generated by the 'Collaborative HIV and Anti-HIV Drug Resistance Network', leading to the following mutations in reverse transcriptase - K65R, D67G/N, N69S/T, K70N/R, L74V, V111I,
Result: The most prevalent resistance mutations to protease inhibitors were as follows: V47A (n = 12, 60%), I54M (n = 6, 30%), and L90M (n = 5, 25%.
Discussion: In the other two cases, we observed a combination of I84V and L90M mutations, resulting in 3.3-fold increased resistance to darunavir.
Incidence of transmitted antiretroviral drug resistance in treatment-naive HIV-1-infected persons in a large South Central United States clinic.
Abstract: The L90M mutation was the most frequently observed PI SDRM (1.6%), while the T215C/D/I mutation was the most common NRTI SDRM identified (1.9%).
Treatment-naive individuals are the major source of transmitted HIV-1 drug resistance in men who have sex with men in the Swiss HIV Cohort Study.
Abstract: Particularly large transmission clusters were observed for the L90M mutation, and the spread of L90M continued even after the near cessation of antiretroviral use selecting for that mutation.
Extreme multidrug resistant HIV-1 protease with 20 mutations is resistant to novel protease inhibitors with P1'-pyrrolidinone or P2-tris-tetrahydrofuran.

Introduction: Recently, we characterized a clinically derived HIV-1 protease (PR20) bearing 20 mutations [Q7K, L10F, I13V, I15V, D30N, V32I, L33F, E35D, M36I, S37N, I47V, I54L, Q58E, I62V, L63P, A71V, I84V, N88D, L89T and L90M] and extremely resist
Tenofovir-based regimens associated with less drug resistance in HIV-1-infected Nigerians failing first-line antiretroviral therapy.
Result: Three patients had selected IAS PI major mutations (I50V, N83D, I84V and L90M).
Antiviral resistance and correlates of virologic failure in the first cohort of HIV-infected children gaining access to structured antiretroviral therapy in Lima, Peru: a cross-sectional analysis.
Abstract: The RT mutations N88D and L90M (NFV resistance) detected by DNA-OLA correlated with virologic failure, whereas mutations at RT position 215 (AZT resistance) were not associated with virologic failure.
Result: Also, the mutations N88D and L90M (NFV resistance) were more frequently detected by DNA-OLA in patients with virologic failure (p < 0.001 and p < 0.05, respectively; WRS test).
Result: Detection of the M184V, N88D and L90M substitutions by RNA OLA was highly sensitive for virologic failure (sensitivity: 0.93, 1.0 and 1.0; binary classification test).
Result: The ability to obtain positive results with the RNA OLA, along with the detection of mutations
"Description of the L76V resistance protease mutation in HIV-1 B and ""non-B"" subtypes."
5Result: Significant differences in the prevalence of PI RAMs detected with the L76V between subtype B and ""non-B"" samples were found at 4 positions with a higher prevalence of the V32I, M46I/L, V82A/F/L/T/S and L90M mutations in subtype B than in ""non-B"" samples: 10 vs 0%, P = 0.04; 92 vs 82%, P = 0.036; 52 vs 26%, P = 0.0011; and 42 vs 1
Result: Among subtype B samples, the major PI RAM significantly correlating as pairs with L76V were: M46I, I54L/M, Q58E, V82F, I84V, and L90M.
How conformational changes can affect catalysis, inhibition and drug resistance of enzymes with induced-fit binding mechanism such as the HIV-1 protease.
Abstract: A comparison to experimental data for the non-active-site mutation L90M of the HIV-1 protease indicates that the mutation slightly destabilizes the closed conformation of the enzyme.
Transmission patterns of HIV-subtypes A/AE versus B: inferring risk-behavior trends and treatment-efficacy limitations from viral genotypic data obtained prior to and during antiretroviral therapy.
Discussion: In particular, resistance-conferring mutations, including the protease mutation L90M and the RT mutations K103N and T215Y were chain-transmitted to drug-naive individuals.
