Pyrosequencing dried blood spots reveals differences in HIV drug resistance between treatment naïve and experienced patients.

Dried blood spots (DBS) are an alternative specimen collection format for HIV-1 genotyping. DBS produce HIV genotyping results that are robust and equivalent to plasma when using conventional sequencing methods. However, using tagged, pooled pyrosequencing, we demonstrate that concordance between pl...
