Acyclovir Resistance






(compared to 0.1-0.7% in immunocompetent)
Most common
Less neurovirulent and unable to reactivate
Altered TK substrate specificity
Alterations in DNA polymerase
Cross resistance to famciclovir and valacyclovir
Famciclovir Resistance
Mutations in viral TK or DNA polymerase
 Cross resistance with acyclovir in TK
negative strains
 May still have activity in TK altered strains
 Resistance to HBV is due to the point
mutation L528M (viral DNA polymerase)
