Antiviral resistance: mechanisms, clinical significance, and future implications

The Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy
D W Kimberlin, R J Whitley

Abstract

The increased awareness of antiviral resistance over the past decade has paralleled the development of new antiviral agents. While such resistant viral isolates are of clinical significance primarily in immunocompromised individuals, the development and transmission of such mutants have been reported in immunocompetent persons as well. As antiviral agents are increasingly utilised by the clinician, the incidence of such occurrences is likely to increase. Issues relating to mechanisms of antiviral resistance, clinical manifestations and significance of resistance, and implications for future antiviral development and utilisation are reviewed in this article. Viruses that are discussed include herpes simplex virus, varicella-zoster virus, cytomegalovirus, influenza A virus, and human immunodeficiency virus.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.

Antivirals (ASM)

Antivirals are medications that are used specifically for treating viral infections. Discover the latest research on antivirals here.
