Introduction: Additionally, the major resistance mutations
Q148H/RK and
N155S have been shown to reduce replicative capacity.
Introduction: Major genetic pathways to
integrase resistance, initially through
N155H and shifting to
Q148H/K/R-
G140S or directly to
Q148H/K/R-
G140S, have been reported.
Result: Of the 38 major and minor
integrase inhibitor resistance associated codons, 44, 61, 66, 92, 121, 140, 143, 147, 148, 155, 226 and 263 were the only positions absolutely conserved across all 342 sequences and these included six primary resistance-associated mutations for raltegravir and elvitegravir (
