Transmitted drug resistance associated with transmission clusters in newly diagnosed antiretroviral-naïve patients in Northern Greece
2010
Purpose of the study: To determine the contribution of transmission clusters on transmitted drug resistance (TDR) in newly diagnosed antiretroviral naive patients in Northern Greece, during 2000 -2007. Methods: Viral reverse transcriptase and protease genes from 369 individuals with newly diagnosed HIV-1 infection were sequenced at baseline. A maximum-likelihood phylogenetic analysis method was employed to examine for linkage between viral isolates. Clinical data were retrieved from the database and cross-referenced with the patients' medical files. Transmitted drug resistance was defined in accordance with the Surveillance Drug Resistance Mutation (SDRM) 2009 list.
