aRAS; resistance-associated substitution. Gain or loss or RAS is determined longitudinally with reference to the earliest sample.
bAmino acid position with reference to strain H77 (AF009606) for GT1a, Con1 (AJ238799) for GT1b, and NZL1 (D17763) for GT3a.
cSpot-forming units per million peripheral blood mononuclear cells.
dEstimated days post infection (DPI) at which analysis was performed.
