Abstract
OBJECTIVES To characterize the genetic diversity and drug resistance profiles of people with HIV-1 failing ART in Cape Verde (CV). DESIGN Cross-sectional study conducted between January 2019 and December 2021 in 24 health centres on the islands of Santiago and São Vicente. METHODS The HIV-1 pol gene was sequenced in individuals with a detectable viral load. HIV-1 genetic diversity was determined by phylogenetic analysis. Drug resistance mutation patterns and resistance phenotypes were estimated using the Stanford algorithm. RESULTS Viral load was detected in 73 of 252 (29%) enrolled participants and sequencing data were produced for 58 (79%) participants. CRF02 AG strains predominated (46.5%), followed by subtype G (22.4%). Most patients (80%) had mutations conferring resistance to nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) (67%), nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (55%), integrase inhibitors (10%) and/or protease inhibitors (7%) used in Cape Verde, a significant increase compared with a study conducted in 2010-2011. The most common mutations were M184V/I (43%), K103N/S (36%) and G190A/S (19%). NNRTI resistance was associated with younger age and exposure to two or more drug regimens. CONCLUSION The HIV-1 epidemic in Cape Verde is mainly driven by CRF02_AG and subtype G. Resistance to NNRTIs and/or NRTIs is highly prevalent and resistance to LPV/r and DTG is emerging. Our results support the use of DTG-based first-line ART and protease inhibitor-based regimens for patients with virological failure, but emerging resistance to LPV/r and DTG is a concern. Continued monitoring of drug resistance is essential to ensure adequate healthcare for PWH in Cape Verde.

Emergence of HIV-1 drug resistance mutations among children and adolescents undergoing prolonged antiretroviral therapy in Guangxi. J Glob Antimicrob Resist 2024; 37:208-213. [PMID: 38608935 DOI: 10.1016/j.jgar.2024.03.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2024] [Revised: 03/18/2024] [Accepted: 03/24/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has been implemented in Guangxi for a long time, and there are no reports of HIV drug resistance mutation (DRM) among children and adolescents experiencing virologic failure after ART. This study aimed to analyse HIV DRM prevalence, patterns, and influencing factors among children and adolescents experiencing virologic failure after ART in Guangxi. METHODS We collected samples from a total of 491 HIV-infected individuals under 18 years old experiencing virologic failure after ART from 14 cities in Guangxi. Sequencing and DRM analysis were performed based on pol region. Multivariate logistic regression was employed to analysis the influencing factors of DRM. RESULTS Among these patients, 396 cases were successfully sequenced. Of all, 52.53% exhibited HIV DRM, including NNRTI (48.48%), NRTI (34.85%) and PI (1.01%). NRTI and NNRTI dual-class resistance was prevalent (30.3%). M184V/I and K103N mutations were the common mutations in NRTI and NNRTI, respectively. Male sex (aOR = 2.1, 95% CI: 1.26-3.50), CRF01_AE subtype (OR = 2.50, 95% CI: 1.02-5.88), the primary regimen 3TC+AZT+NVP (OR = 10.00, 95% CI: 5.00-25.00), low pretreatment CD4+ T lymphocytes (<200 cells/mm³) (OR = 1.85, 95% CI: 1.00-3.45), and high viral load (>1000 copies/mL) (OR = 4.90, 95% CI: 1.03-23.39) showed higher risk of DRM. CONCLUSION HIV DRM is pervasive among children and adolescents experiencing virologic failure in Guangxi. Timely HIV DRM monitoring is crucial to mitigate major mutation accumulation and inform effective treatment strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Drug resistance mutation testing is a key element for HIV clinical management, informing effective treatment regimens. However, resistance screening in current clinical practice is limited in reporting linked cross-class resistance mutations and minority variants, both of which may increase the risk of virological failure. METHODS To address these limitations, we obtained 358 full-length pol gene sequences from 52 specimens of 20 HIV infected individuals by combining microdroplet amplification, unique molecular identifier (UMI) labeling, and long-read high-throughput sequencing. RESULTS We conducted a rigorous assessment of the accuracy of our pipeline for precision drug resistance mutation detection, verifying that a sequencing depth of 35 high-throughput reads achieved complete, error-free pol gene sequencing. We detected 26 distinct drug resistance mutations to Protease Inhibitors (PIs), Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NRTIs), Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NNRTIs), and Integrase Strand Transfer Inhibitors (INSTIs). We detected linked cross-class drug resistance mutations (PI+NRTI, PI+NNRTI, and NRTI+NNRTI) that confer cross-resistance to multiple drugs in different classes. Fourteen different types of minority mutations were also detected with frequencies ranging from 3.2% to 19%, and the presence of these mutations was verified by Sanger reference sequencing. We detected a putative transmitted drug resistance mutation (TDRM) in one individual that persisted for over seven months from the first sample collected at the acute stage of infection prior to seroconversion. CONCLUSIONS Our comprehensive drug resistance mutation profiling can advance clinical practice by reporting mutation linkage and minority variants to better guide antiretroviral therapy options.

Prevalence of HIV-1 Natural Polymorphisms and Integrase-Resistance-Associated Mutations in African Children. Viruses 2023; 15:v15020546. [PMID: 36851760 PMCID: PMC9964382 DOI: 10.3390/v15020546] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2023] [Revised: 02/05/2023] [Accepted: 02/12/2023] [Indexed: 02/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Integrase inhibitors (INIs) are a potent option for HIV treatment. Limited data exist on INI resistance in West Africa, particularly in children living with HIV/AIDS. We determined the prevalence of integrase gene polymorphisms and the frequency of naturally occurring amino acid (aa) substitutions at positions associated with INI resistance. Dried blood spot (DBS) samples were obtained from one hundred and seven (107) HIV-1-infected children aged less than 15 years old in two West African countries, Benin and Mali. All children were naïve to INI treatment, 56 were naïve to anti-retroviral therapy (ART), and 51 had received ART. Genetic sequencing of HIV integrase was successful in 75 samples. The aa changes at integrase positions associated with INI resistance were examined according to the Stanford HIV Genotypic Resistance database. The median ages were 2.6 and 10 years for ART-naïve and -treated children, respectively. The most common subtypes observed were CRF02_AG (74.7%) followed by CRF06_cpx (20%). No major INI-resistance mutations at positions 66, 92, 121, 143, 147, 148, 155, and 263 were detected. The most prevalent INI accessory resistance mutations were: L74I/M (14/75, 18.6%) followed by E157Q (8/75, 10.6%), G163E/N/T/Q (5/75, 6.6%), Q95A/H/P (2/75, 2.6%), and T97A (4/75, 5.3%). Other substitutions observed were M50I/L/P, H51E/P/S/Q, I72V, T112V, V201I, and T206S. Polymorphisms at positions which may influence the genetic barrier and/or drive the selection of specific INI-resistance pathways were detected. However, no transmitted drug resistance (TDR) to INI was detected among samples of INI-naïve patients. These findings support the use of this treatment class for children with HIV-1, particularly in West Africa.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global public health problem. In the alternatives being explored for developing new antimicrobials, medicinal plants occupy an important place, particularly in Africa, where they are widely used. This review aims to analyze the potential of medicinal plants from Benin, Togo, Ghana, Burkina-Faso, and Cape Verde in the fight against AMR. A bibliographic search was conducted to explore scientific databases such as PubMed and Google Scholar. During this search, particular attention was given to epidemiological data related to AMR in these countries, medicinal plants traditionally used to treat microbial infections and medicinal plants that have been shown to be active on multidrug-resistant microbial strains. In total, 94 manuscripts were investigated. Epidemiological data showed that the problem of AMR is worsening in each target country. In addition, several medicinal plants have been demonstrated to be effective against microbial strains resistant to conventional antibiotics. A total of 532 medicinal plants were identified according to their ethnomedical uses for the treatment of microbial infections. Scientific evidence was collected on the antimicrobial potential of 91 plants. This study showed the potential of medicinal plants in the fight against AMR. Their documented traditional use, coupled with the evidence of efficacy provided, make them interesting sources for developing new antimicrobials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To analyse the characteristics and determinants of drug resistance mutations (DRMs) in HIV-infected children and adolescents on long-term ART in China. METHODS An observational cohort study was conducted in five centres. All participants younger than 15 years at ART initiation were screened, and those identified as having virological failure (VF) with viral load (VL) ≥ 400 copies/mL were included for genotypic resistance testing. Logistic regression analysis was performed and the accumulation of major mutations was analysed in a subgroup of resistant individuals with complete VL results since HIV diagnosis. RESULTS Among 562 eligible participants, protease and RT regions were successfully amplified for 93 who failed treatment with a median of 10.0 years ART. Sixty-eight (73.1%) harboured ≥1 major mutations. NRTI, NNRTI and dual-class resistance accounted for 48.4%, 63.4% and 38.7%, respectively. Only 3.2% were resistant to PIs. Age at ART initiation [adjusted OR (aOR) = 0.813, 95% CI 0.690-0.957], subtype B (aOR = 4.378, 95% CI 1.414-13.560) and an initial NNRTI-based regimen (aOR = 3.331, 95% CI 1.180-9.402) were independently associated with DRMs. Among 40 resistant participants with additional VL data, 55.0% had continued VF on a suboptimal regimen and the estimated duration of VF was positively correlated with the total number of major mutations (r = 0.504, P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The development of DRMs was common in children and adolescents receiving long-term treatment, and continued VF was prevalent in those with resistance. Timely genotypic testing and new child-friendly formulations are therefore urgently required.

Effect of Azadirachta indica and Senna siamea Decoction on CD4+ and CD8+ Level, Toxicological, and Antioxidant Profile in HIV/AIDS Positive Persons. J Toxicol 2021; 2021:5594505.

Abstract
Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a major public health problem affecting several countries with predominance in black Africa. Faced with therapeutic failure caused by resistance and supply disruptions, searching for other antiretroviral agents, in particular from natural sources, becomes necessary. Given popular consumption of Azadirachta indica and Senna siamea decoction in the Northern Cameroon region and the traditionally attributed antiretroviral value, information on its efficacy and safety consumption is relevant to confirm its use. A total of 297 participants aged 18-52 and HIV-positive were recruited and divided into 3 groups: one taking only the decoction (group 1), another taking only antiretroviral therapy (ARTs) (group 2), and finally, one taking the decoction and antiretroviral (group 3). During 6 months, all the participants of the concerned groups consumed daily (morning and evening) 250 mL of Azadirachta indica and Senna siamea decoction. CD4+ and CD8+ levels were measured by flow cytometry. Hepatic and renal toxicity and oxidative stress were evaluated spectrophotometrically by measuring ALT, AST, ALP, BUN, CREAT, SOD, CAT, and GSH parameters. We note an increase in the CD4+ level of the three groups with values much more pronounced in the group treated by ARTs + decoction, from 328 ± 106 to 752 ± 140. Group 2 presented not only biological signs of hepatic and renal toxicity but also significant oxidative stress. No signs of toxicity were detected in the other groups. The study concludes that a decoction of Azadirachta indica and Senna siamea stimulates the production of CD4+ and is not toxic. On the contrary, it would reduce the toxicity caused by ARTs intake.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Optimal care for children with HIV infection includes timely assessment of treatment failure. Using HIV viral load to define treatment failure remains a challenge in resource-limited settings. METHODS Children with HIV infection who were already on or starting first-line antiretroviral therapy were enrolled and followed over time. We examined clinical and immunologic predictors of virologic failure (VF), defined as consecutive viral load measurements > 1000 copies/mL (VF). Children were followed every 6 months with clinical assessments, immunologic assays and viral load testing until treatment failure or up to 18 months. RESULTS Of the 484 children with complete data, we observed a prevalence of 15% who had VF at enrollment, and 18 who developed VF over 10.5 person-years of follow-up for an incidence of 4.97 [95% CI: 3.04-7.70) per 100 person-years. Lower adherence, lower CD4 T-cell count, lower white blood cells count, lower platelets and a lower glomerular filtration rate were all associated with increased VF. However, in a multivariable analysis, renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rate < 90 mL/min), odds ratio: 11.5 (95% CI: 1.5-63.7), and lower adherence, odds ratio: 3.9 (95% CI: 1.1-13.4), were the only factors associated with development of VF. CONCLUSIONS We identified a significant risk of VF in children with HIV infection in a prospective cohort study in southern Ethiopia and limited predictive value of clinical variables for VF. This provides further evidence that rapid and reliable viral load testing is needed to adequately address the HIV epidemic, along with implementation of adherence interventions in sub-Saharan Africa.
