Abstract
Sequential herpes simplex virus (HSV) isolates from AIDS patients receiving foscarnet therapy were evaluated for susceptibility to adefovir. Foscarnet-resistant isolates with DNA polymerase mutations in regions II, VI, and between I and VII were also associated with an important decrease in susceptibility to adefovir (mean IC50 increase: 4.6-fold compared to pre-foscarnet or wild-type isolates) suggesting that adefovir-resistant HSV could be selected in vivo by foscarnet therapy.
