Conclusion: Another GRT, covering HIV-1 integrase (IN) region, performed on the sample plasma aliquot, revealed major RAMs, L74I, E138KQ, G140A, Q148R, and E157Q, to integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTI) including raltegravir, dolutegravir, bictegravir and elvitegravir.
Discussion: Specifically, previous exposure to RAL (a drug with a low-genetic barrier to resistance) in a context of poor adherence contributed to selecting mutations (E138KQ, G140A, Q148R) conferring cross-resistance to DTG.

Abstract: Both were superior to DTG, as evidenced by the data obtained with the IN mutant T66I/L74M/E138K/S147G/Q148R/S230N, which was selected by CAB using an EVG-resistant lab strain.
Virologic failure after 48 weeks of raltegravir-based regimen in low HIV-1 incidence setting.
Discussion: N155H was the main mutation pathway for virologic failure, followed by Q143R and Q148R/H mutation pathways.
Drug Resistance Mutations Against Protease, Reverse Transcriptase and Integrase Inhibitors in People Living With HIV-1 Receiving Boosted Protease Inhibitors in South Africa.
Abstract: Overall, the Q148H/K/R plus G140A/C/S and/or E138A/K/T pattern, defining an intermediate level of resistance to DTG, was detected in 70 (15%) cases.
Abstract: The most frequent INSTI resistance mutation was N155H, followed by Q148H/K/R, G140A/C/S, E138A/K/T and Y143C/H/R.
Drug resistance emergence in macaques administered cabotegravir long-acting for pre-exposure prophylaxis during acute SHIV infection.
Introduction: An additional concern is the lack of information on the mutations selected with CAB in vivo and their potential impact on resistance to other INSTIs, as only two cases of CAB resistance have been reported in HIV-infected patients treated with CAB, both mediated by integrase mutation Q148R.
Discussion: In humans, treatment with CAB or CAB LA has been associated with rare instances of selection of Q148R.

Abstract: Predominant major mutations were N155H (35.1%), Q148H/R (15.8%) and G140A/S (14%).
Introduction: Different pathways against first-generation InSTIs were identified whose primary mutations include the substitutions N155H, Q148K/R/H, and Y143R/C.
Result: Predominant combinations of mutations were 140A/S + Q148H/R and N155H + G163K/R.
Result: Predominant major integrase resistance mutations were N155H (35.1%), Q148H/R (15.8%) and PMID: 30803972

Abstract: HIV-2 integrase mutants G140S/Q148R and G140S/Q148H were 34- and 110-fold resistant to bictegravir, respectively; other resistance-associated mutations conferred <=5-fold changes in bictegravir susceptibility.

Abstract: One of 607 integrase sequences carried a DRM20% (Q148R).
Result: Among ART-exposed participants, only one had low-level resistance to dolutegravir (Q148R) among participants with available consensus sequence covering the integrase (n = 83).
Result: Fifteen participants had integrase DRM20% (15/83, 18.1%), including Q148R conferring low-level resistance to dolutegravir, and some accessory integrase mutations were also found: L74I/M (n = 12/15, 80.0%), E157Q (n = 1) and G163R (n = 1).
Discussion: We did observe Q148R, which is associated with high-level dolutegravir resistance
