They wanted to answer two questions: first, whether the mutations that cause drug resistance in subtype B viruses also develop in non-subtype-B viruses exposed to antiretroviral drugs, and second, whether novel mutations (i.e.
Answering these questions might determine whether initial treatment strategies should be different for people with non-subtype-B viruses, and also could help decide how patients with non-subtype-B virus who fail antiretroviral therapy should be managed.
In a paper in this month's PLoS Medicine , Rami Kantor and colleagues from a worldwide collaboration have looked at the mutations found in 3,686 people with non-subtype-B HIV-1 infections compared with those in 4,769 people with subtype B infections.
So it appears that few novel mutations are arising in non-subtype-B viruses exposed to the current antiretroviral drugs and that the present focus on subtype B mutations for global surveillance and genotypic assessments of drug resistance is a reasonable approach.
What they found was that all of the 55 drug-resistance mutations that have been known to occur in subtype B also occurred in at least one non-subtype-B isolate, and most of these mutations were also statistically associated with antiretroviral treatment in at least one non-B subtype.
