Abstract: Highly PFA-resistant HIV- 1 strains were hypersusceptible to AZT; conversely, AZT-resistant strains with M41L and T215Y; M41L, L210W, and T215Y; or M41L, D67N, K70R, and T215Y mutations were 2.2- to 2.5-fold hypersusceptible to PFA.

Abstract: However, after prolonged ddI monotherapy, mutations associated with zidovudine resistance (M41L, D67N, K70R, and/or T215Y) were detected in HIV-1 isolates from both patients.
Zidovudine treatment results in the selection of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 variants whose genotypes confer increasing levels of drug resistance.

Abstract: High level resistance to 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine (AZT, zidovudine or Retrovir) is conferred by the presence of four or five mutations (Met-41-->Leu; Asp-67-->Asn; Lys-70-->Arg; Thr-215-->Tyr or Phe; Lys-219-->Gln) in the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) reverse transcriptase.
Mutagenic study of codons 74 and 215 of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 reverse transcriptase, which are significant in nucleoside analog resistance.
Abstract: The Thr-215-->Phe virus was less AZT resistant than the Thr-215-->Tyr mutant, both on its own and when each was combined with the Met-41-->Leu mutant.

Abstract: Two of these patients had a single mutation (Thr215-->Tyr), and 2 had a double mutation (Met41-->Leu and Thr215-->Tyr) that previously has been shown to confer zidovudine resistance.
Fifth mutation in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 reverse transcriptase contributes to the development of high-level resistance to zidovudine.
Abstract: Using an HIV marker rescue system, we have mapped and identified a fifth mutation conferring resistance to zidovudine, namely, methionine to leucine at codon 41 of HIV RT.
