High resistance to reverse transcriptase inhibitors among persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 subtype circulating recombinant form 02_AG in Ghana and on antiretroviral therapy.
Introduction: Previous research in Ghana has shown low prevalence (5%) of drug resistance, with some studies reporting no transmitted drug resistance mutations, while others observed only minor mutations L10I, L10 V, V11I, and E35G in 4 patients and V179E in another.
HIV-1 subtypes and drug resistance mutations among female sex workers varied in different cities and regions of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Result: In four (4) of the patients carrying resistance associated mutations in the urban setting, 6 resistance mutations to NRTIs: [M41L (2), E44D (1), K65R (1), K70E (1), M184V/I (2), K219R (1)] and 6 resistance mutations to NNRTIs: K103N (1), E138A/G (2), V179E (1), M230L (1), K238T (1), P225H (1)] were found.

Abstract: Mutations such as M184V/I (35.4%) in NRTIs and K103N/R/S/T (25.4%), V179D/E/T/Y (18.9%), G190A/E/R/S (13.8%), and Y181C (9.2%) in NNRTIs were common among the HIV-1 URF strains relative to other mutations.

Infection, genetics and evolution
Abstract: Besides the natural presence of V179D and K103R/V179D in CRF65_cpx, the natural presence of V179E was found in CRF55_01B.
Abstract: In all but one of the 228 patients infected with CRF55_01B, NNRTI resistance mutation V179E was present and the combination of V179E and E138G was detected in 14 treatment-naive patients, with a rate of 6.2%.
Antiretroviral drug resistance mutations among patients failing first-line treatment in Hanoi, Vietnam.
Abstract: About half (49.1%, 27/55) of the HIV-1 strains with mutation presented as potential low-level resistant to NNRTI attributed to V179D/E.
Abstract: The most common HIV-1 mutation pattern for NNRTI and NRTI were V179D/E (10.1%, 32/317) and M184 V (2.8%, 9/317), respectively.
Result: In addition, nearly half of (49.1%, 27/55) HIV-1 strains with PDR mutation exhibited the degree of potential low-level resistance to NNRTI ascribed to V179D/E.
Result: The most frequent NNRTI associated mutation was V179D/E, which was observed in 10.1% (32/317) of patients, followed by
Drug resistance evolution in patients with human immunodeficiency virus-1 under long-term antiretroviral treatment-failure in Yunnan Province, China.
Abstract: M184 V/I (26.14%), T69S (11.36%), and T215Y/I (10.23%) mutations were the most common in nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), and K103 N/R/S (21.59%), V179D/E (20.45%) in Non-NRTIs (NNRTIs)
Discussion: We observed that NNRTI mutations principally occurred in the first and second periods of treatment failure and were mainly K103 N/R/S, V179D/E, Y181C/I/V, G190A, Y188L/C.
