Rapid Selection of K65R Resistance in Subtype C Isolates
Previous work in our lab showed that MK-2048, a Merck INSTI, selected G118R followed by E138K. The latter augmented levels of resistance against MK-2048 and also restored replicative fitness. 7

Dolutegravir resistance associates with a decrease in viral replication capacity
Conclusions • Resistance mutations selected in vitro with dolutegravir are: R263K or G118R plus H51Y • R263K and G118R confer low-level resistance against dolutegravir, e.g. 2.5-6 fold • The addition of H51Y to either R263K or G118R increases resistance against DTG but also further decreases viral fitness • These findings help to explain why resistance against dolutegravir in INSTI-naïve patients has not been observed
No compensatory mutations in regard to DTG resistance and viral fitness have developed over more than one year in culture. Might there be other implications for a drug that selects for an unfit virus and can animal models be of use?
