Resistance mutations in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 integrase selected with elvitegravir confer reduced susceptibility to a wide range of integrase inhibitors.
Abstract: We find the primary resistance-conferring mutations to be Q148R, E92Q, and T66I and demonstrate that they confer a reduction in susceptibility not only to elvitegravir but also to raltegravir (MK-0518) and other integrase inhibitors.
Clade-specific HIV-1 integrase polymorphisms do not reduce raltegravir and elvitegravir phenotypic susceptibility.
Abstract: Control Q148R mutant virus showed fold change values of 17.85 +/- 2.77 and 88.94 +/- 9.02 for raltegravir and elvitegravir, respectively, whereas the average fold change for the clinical samples was 0.91 +/- 0.40, and 0.84 +/- 0.37.

Abstract: The most common resistance pattern seems to be E138K + E147G + Q148R.
Abstract: The most frequently observed mutations in failure with elvitegravir are E92Q, E138K, Q148R/K/H and N155H, and less frequently S147G and T66A/I/K.
Changes to the HIV long terminal repeat and to HIV integrase differentially impact HIV integrase assembly, activity, and the binding of strand transfer inhibitors.

Abstract: 3) The strand transfer and inhibitor binding defects of a Q148R mutant are due to a decreased affinity of the complex for magnesium.
