J Med Virol 2024; 96:e29937. [PMID: 39323078 DOI: 10.1002/jmv.29937] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2024] [Revised: 09/12/2024] [Accepted: 09/17/2024] [Indexed: 09/27/2024]
Abstract
The presence of pretreatment drug resistance (PDR) is posing an increasing threat to HIV control. Here we investigated drug resistance mutations (DRMs) and PDR among 6831 HIV-infected individuals from 2018 to 2022 in Guangzhou, China. DRMs were detected among 24.5% of the patients. The overall prevalence of PDR was 7.4%, with resistance rate to nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) being 1.3%, nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) 4.8%, and protease inhibitor (PI) 1.4%. Abacavir (0.8%) resistance was the most common in NRTI, followed by resistance to emtricitabine (0.6%), lamivudine (0.6%), and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (0.3%). In NNRTI, nevirapine (3.7%) resistance was the most common, followed by efavirenz (3.5%) and rilpivirine (3.4%). Among PI, resistance to tipranavir (0.8%), nelfinavir (0.6%), fosamprenavir (0.2%) and lopinavir (0.1%) was most frequent. Annual prevalence of PDR showed an increase trend from 2018 to 2022, although not significant. In the multivariable logistic regression model, hepatitis B surface antigen positivity, circulating recombinant form (CRF) 55_01B, CRF08_BC, CRF59_01B, and subtype B were demonstrated as associated risk factors for PDR. The overall prevalence of PDR in Guangzhou was moderate, with relatively severe NNRTI resistance. Therefore, it remains crucial to continue monitoring PDR among newly diagnosed HIV-infected individuals.

Disparity of HIV-1 Pretreatment Drug Resistance in Men Who Have Sex With Men and the Heterosexual Population in Guangxi, China. Open Forum Infect Dis 2023; 10:ofad016. [PMID: 36751650 PMCID: PMC9898876 DOI: 10.1093/ofid/ofad016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2022] [Accepted: 01/13/2023] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The prevalence of human immunodeficiency type 1 (HIV-1) pretreatment drug resistance (PDR) in men who have sex with men (MSM) in Guangxi remains unclear, and its effect on antiretroviral therapy (ART) needs to be further studied. Methods Individuals newly diagnosed with HIV in Guangxi from 2016 to 2020, which mainly included MSM and the heterosexual (HES) population, were recruited in this study. Pol sequences were sequenced to analyze PDR and construct a genetic network. The risk factors for PDR and the effect on ART were respectively analyzed. Results The PDR of MSM in Guangxi was 4.7% (34/716), consisting of nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (3.5%), protease inhibitors (0.8%), integrase strand transfer inhibitors (0.7%), and nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (0.4%), and lower than that of HES (9.3% [77/827]). The subtype was associated with PDR, and MSM was lower than HES (CRF01_AE: 3.0% vs 8.0%; CRF07_BC: 4.1% vs 7.2%). CRF55_01B (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 3.35) was a risk factor for PDR in MSM, while CRF08_BC (aOR, 2.34) and older (aOR, 2.75) were risk factors for PDR in HES. Six of 18 (33.3%) PDR of MSM in the network connected to each other, lower than that of HES (61.1% [22/36]). CRF55_01B (aOR, 5.69) was a risk factor for PDR transmission in MSM, while CRF08_BC (aOR, 4.08) was a risk factor in HES. Pretreatment CD4+ T-cell count, age, infection route, and subtype were associated with recovery of CD4+ count and suppression of viral load. Conclusions The prevalence of PDR was different between MSM and HES, which may be associated with subtype. Thus, the monitoring of subtype and PDR should be strengthened.

Abstract
ABSTRACT
Resistance to antimicrobial drugs used to treat bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic infections is a major health concern requiring a coordinated response across the globe. An important aspect in the fight against antimicrobial resistance is the development of novel drugs that are effective against resistant pathogens. Drug development is a complex trans-disciplinary endeavor, in which structural biology plays a major role by providing detailed functional and mechanistic information on an antimicrobial target and its interactions with small molecule inhibitors. Although X-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance have until now been the methods of choice to characterize microbial targets and drive structure-based drug development, cryo-electron microscopy is rapidly gaining ground in these areas. In this perspective, we will discuss how cryo-electron microscopy is changing our understanding of an established antimicrobial target, the ribosome, and how methodological developments could help this technique become an integral part of the antimicrobial drug discovery pipeline.

Abstract
BACKGROUND South Africa has the largest public antiretroviral therapy (ART) programme in the world. We assessed temporal trends in pretreatment HIV-1 drug resistance (PDR) in ART-naïve adults from South Africa. METHODS We included datasets from studies conducted between 2000 and 2016, with HIV-1 pol sequences from more than ten ART-naïve adults. We analysed sequences for the presence of 101 drug resistance mutations. We pooled sequences by sampling year and performed a sequence-level analysis using a generalized linear mixed model, including the dataset as a random effect. FINDINGS We identified 38 datasets, and retrieved 6880 HIV-1 pol sequences for analysis. The pooled annual prevalence of PDR remained below 5% until 2009, then increased to a peak of 11·9% (95% confidence interval (CI) 9·2-15·0) in 2015. The pooled annual prevalence of non-nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) PDR remained below 5% until 2011, then increased to 10.0% (95% CI 8.4-11.8) by 2014. Between 2000 and 2016, there was a 1.18-fold (95% CI 1.13-1.23) annual increase in NNRTI PDR (p < 0.001), and a 1.10-fold (95% CI 1.05-1.16) annual increase in nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor PDR (p = 0.001). INTERPRETATION Increasing PDR in South Africa presents a threat to the efforts to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic. These findings support the recent decision to modify the standard first-line ART regimen, but also highlights the need for broader public health action to prevent the further emergence and transmission of drug-resistant HIV.

Abstract
There is evidence of increasing levels of pretreatment HIV drug resistance (PDR) in Southern Africa. We used data from two large population-based HIV surveillance studies to estimate prevalence of PDR in KwaZulu-Natal, the province with the highest HIV prevalence in South Africa. Sanger sequencing was performed on samples obtained from a longitudinal HIV surveillance program (study A, 2013-2014) and the HIV Incidence Provincial Surveillance System (study B, 2014-2015). Sequences were included for adult HIV positive participants (age ≥15 years for study A, age 15-49 years for study B) with no documented prior exposure to antiretroviral therapy (ART). Overall and drug class-specific PDR was estimated using the World Health Organization 2009 surveillance drug resistance mutation (SDRM) list, and phylogenetic analysis was performed to establish evidence of drug resistance transmission linkage. A total of 1,845 sequences were analyzed (611 study A; 1,234 study B). An overall PDR prevalence of 9.2% [95% confidence interval (CI) 7.0-11.7] was observed for study A and 11.0% (95% CI 8.9-13.2) for study B. In study B, the prevalence of non-nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) PDR exceeded 10% for sequences collected in 2014 (10.2%, 95% CI 7.5-12.9). The most prevalent SDRMs were K103NS (7.5%), M184VI (2.4%), and V106AM (1.4%). There was no evidence of large transmission chains of drug-resistant virus. High level NNRTI PDR (>10%) suggests a need to modify the standard first-line ART regimen and to focus attention on improving the quality of HIV prevention, treatment, and care.

An open-source k-mer based machine learning tool for fast and accurate subtyping of HIV-1 genomes. PLoS One 2018; 13:e0206409. [PMID: 30427878 PMCID: PMC6235296 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0206409] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2018] [Accepted: 10/14/2018] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
For many disease-causing virus species, global diversity is clustered into a taxonomy of subtypes with clinical significance. In particular, the classification of infections among the subtypes of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is a routine component of clinical management, and there are now many classification algorithms available for this purpose. Although several of these algorithms are similar in accuracy and speed, the majority are proprietary and require laboratories to transmit HIV-1 sequence data over the network to remote servers. This potentially exposes sensitive patient data to unauthorized access, and makes it impossible to determine how classifications are made and to maintain the data provenance of clinical bioinformatic workflows. We propose an open-source supervised and alignment-free subtyping method (Kameris) that operates on k-mer frequencies in HIV-1 sequences. We performed a detailed study of the accuracy and performance of subtype classification in comparison to four state-of-the-art programs. Based on our testing data set of manually curated real-world HIV-1 sequences (n = 2, 784), Kameris obtained an overall accuracy of 97%, which matches or exceeds all other tested software, with a processing rate of over 1,500 sequences per second. Furthermore, our fully standalone general-purpose software provides key advantages in terms of data security and privacy, transparency and reproducibility. Finally, we show that our method is readily adaptable to subtype classification of other viruses including dengue, influenza A, and hepatitis B and C virus.
