NOTE. *Direct PCR sequences of HIV-1 group M plasma viruses from 4,435 INI-naive individuals [29]. The RAL-Rx % is the no. of patients with a virus sequence containing a mutation divided by the number of RAL-treated patients (n = 105) obtained from 12 published references in the Stanford HIV Drug Resistance Database [32]. Although several RAL-treated individuals had multiple sequences, no mutation was counted more than once per individual. In vitro susceptibility in the absence of other INI resistance mutations. Most data were derived from site-directed mutants. When data were available from multiple studies or determined using multiple assays the fold resistance approximates the median of the multiple results. §S-1360, L-870,812, and GS-9160 are investigational INIs. Site-directed mutants with Q148H, Q148R, or Q148K do not decrease 572 susceptibility. However, viruses having one of these mutations in combination with E138K and/or G140S may have up to 10- to 20-fold decreased 572 susceptibility [11, 33].
