The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) reverse transcriptase (RT) resistance mutation K65R confers intermediate levels of resistance to several RT inhibitors, including a three- to fourfold reduction of tenofovir susceptibility. Here, we have used for the first time primary HIV-1 isolates from individuals who developed the K65R mutation while enrolled in a clinical trial of tenofovir to analyze the impact of this mutation on HIV-1 replicative fitness. A marked impairment in replicative ...[more]
