Reversibility of HIV drug resistance.
Using a mathematical model, Blower et al. (1) predicted the impact of antiretroviral therapy (ART) on future trends in the sexual spread of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The model employed Latin hypercube sampling to allow for the high degree of uncertainty in the estimation of many model parameters. The authors incorporated into their model the assumption that patients with drug-resistan...
متن کاملReversibility of antibiotic resistance
Although theoretically attractive, the reversibility of resistance has proven difficult in practice, even though antibiotic resistance mechanisms induce a fitness cost to the bacterium. Associated resistance to other antibiotics and compensatory mutations seem to ameliorate the effect of antibiotic interventions in the community. In this paper the current understanding of the concepts of revers...

متن کاملHIV-1 drug resistance and resistance testing.
The global scale-up of antiretroviral (ARV) therapy (ART) has led to dramatic reductions in HIV-1 mortality and incidence. However, HIV drug resistance (HIVDR) poses a potential threat to the long-term success of ART and is emerging as a threat to the elimination of AIDS as a public health problem by 2030. In this review we describe the genetic mechanisms, epidemiology, and management of HIVDR ...
متن کاملHiv-1 Drug Resistance Mutations
Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-based regimens have recently been used in HIV-1 infected children in resource-limited settings. Treatment failure with this regimen has become more common. A second regimen needs to be prepared for the Thai national program. Genotypic resistance testing was conducted among HIV-1 infected children who experienced virological failure with ant...
