Abstract

Two ganciclovir (GCV)-resistant human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) strains recovered from an AIDS patient (strain VR4990) and a heart transplant recipient (strain VR5474) showed a Cys607-->Tyr change in the UL97-encoded phosphotransferase. No amino acid substitutions were observed in the viral DNA polymerase. Marker transfer experiments showed marked reduction in GCV phosphorylation and drug susceptibility of the recombinant HCMV strain VR4990rec2-1-1. These results further extend the region of the carboxy-terminal domain of the UL97 phosphotransferase involved in GCV substrate recognition.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

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

Allergy & Infectious Diseases (ASM)

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.
