The M50I polymorphic substitution in HIV-1 subtype B integrase does not restore viral fitness costs associated with the primary resistance mutation R263K

First-generation integrase strand-transfer inhibitors (INSTIs), such as raltegravir (RAL) and elvitegravir (EVG), have been clinically proven to be effective ARVs for the treatment of HIV-positive patients. However, their relatively low genetic barrier for resistance makes them susceptible to the em...
