Etravirine phenotypic fold changes were 380-1400 for K101P + E138A/G/Q + K103N/S/T + V179I and 12-130 for K101P + (K103S +/- V179I) in the absence of E138A/G/Q. Although the effect of K103S is unclear, additional position 138 substitutions seem important for etravirine susceptibility. | | Language | ENG | | Pub Type(s) | JOURNAL ARTICLE
