HIV-1 drug resistance in adults and adolescents on protease inhibitor-based antiretroviral treatment in KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa. J Glob Antimicrob Resist 2021; 29:468-475. [PMID: 34785393 DOI: 10.1016/j.jgar.2021.10.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2021] [Revised: 08/19/2021] [Accepted: 10/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In low- and middle-income countries, increasing levels of HIV drug resistance (HIVDR) on second-line protease inhibitor (PI)-based regimens are a cause for concern, given limited drug options for third-line antiretroviral therapy (ART). OBJECTIVES We conducted a retrospective analysis of routine HIV-1 genotyping laboratory data from KwaZulu-Natal, in South Africa, to describe the frequency and patterns of HIVDR mutations and their consequent impact on standardized third-line regimens. METHODS This was a cross-sectional analysis of all HIV-1 genotypic resistance tests conducted by the National Health Laboratory Service in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa (Jan 2015 - Dec 2016), for adults and adolescents (age ≥10 years) on second-line PI-based ART with virological failure. We assigned a third-line regimen to each record, based on a national treatment algorithm and calculated the genotypic susceptibility score (GSS) for that regimen. RESULTS Of 348 samples analyzed, 287 (83%) had at least one drug resistance mutation (DRM) and 114 (33%) had at least one major PI DRM. Major PI resistance was associated with longer duration on second-line ART (aOR per 6-months, 1.11, 95% CI 1.04-1.19) and older age (aOR 1.03, 95% CI 1.01-1.05). Of 112 patients requiring third-line ART, 12 (11%) had a GSS of <2 for the algorithm-assigned third-line regimen. CONCLUSIONS One in three people failing second-line ART had significant PI DRMs. A subgroup of these individuals had extensive HIVDR, where the predicted activity of third-line ART was suboptimal, highlighting the need for continuous evaluation of outcomes on third-line regimens and close monitoring for emergent HIV-1 integrase-inhibitor resistance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Short-read next-generation sequencing (NGS) has been implemented to study the resistance profile of HIV as it provides a higher sensitivity than Sanger sequencing. However, short-reads only generates a consensus view of the viral population rather than a reconstruction of the viral haplotypes. In this study, we evaluated the resistance profile of HIV quasispecies in patients undergoing treatment failure using SMRT sequencing. DESIGN Whole-pol RT-PCR was performed on viral RNA extracted from plasma samples of 38 HIV-positive individuals undergoing treatment failure, and sequenced in the RSII instrument. Error correction and viral haplotype phasing was performed with the Multilayer Directed Phasing and Sequencing (MDPSeq) algorithm. Presence of resistance mutations reported by the IAS-USA in 2017 was assessed using an in-house script. RESULTS The SMRT sequencing-based test detected 131/134 resistance mutations previously detected using a Sanger sequencing-based test. However, the SMRT test also identified seven additional mutations present at an estimated frequency lower than 30%. The intra-host phylogenetic analysis showed that seven samples harbored at least one resistance variant at 20--80% frequency. The haplotype-resolved sequencing revealed viral diversification and selection of new resistance during suboptimal treatment, an overall trend toward selection and accumulation of new resistance mutations, as well as the co-existence of resistant and susceptible variants. CONCLUSION Our results validate the SMRT sequencing-based test for detection of HIV drug resistance. In addition, this method unraveled the complex dynamic of HIV quasispecies during treatment failure, which might have several implications on clinical management.

Low levels of HIV-1 drug resistance mutations in patients who achieved viral re-suppression without regimen switch: a retrospective study. BMC Microbiol 2020; 20:17.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We identified a HIV-positive cohort in virologic failure (VF) who re-suppressed without drug switch. We characterized their drug resistance mutations (DRM) and adherence profiles to learn how to better manage HIV drug resistance. A retrospective cohort study utilizing clinical data and stored samples. Patients received ART at three Nigerian treatment centres. Plasma samples stored when they were in VF were genotyped. RESULT Of 126 patients with samples available, 57 were successfully genotyped. From ART initiation, the proportion of patients with adherence ≥90% increased steadily from 54% at first high viral load (VL) to 67% at confirmed VF, and 81% at time of re-suppressed VL. Sixteen (28%) patients had at least one DRM. Forty-six (81%) patients had full susceptibility to the three drugs in their first-line (1 L) regimen. Thirteen (23%) were resistant to at least one antiretroviral drug but three were resistant to drugs not used in Nigeria. Ten patients had resistance to their 1 L drug(s) and six were fully susceptible to the three drugs in the recommended second-line regimen. CONCLUSION This cohort had little drug resistance mutations. We conclude that if adherence is not assured, patients could exhibit virologic failure without having developed mutations associated with drug resistance.

Abstract
Background Many lines of evidence point to HIV-1 subtype-specific differences in the development of drug resistance mutations. While variation between subtype C and others has been extensively explored, there has been less emphasis on subtypes common to West Africa. We examined a previously described national survey of pretreatment drug resistance in HIV-1-infected Nigerian children aged <18 months, to explore the association between subtypes and patterns of resistance. Methods Five hundred and forty-nine dried blood spots, from 15 early infant diagnostic facilities in Nigeria, were amplified and HIV-1 polymerase was sequenced. Four hundred and twenty-four were analysed for surveillance drug resistance mutations (SDRMs). Associations between subtype and SDRMs were evaluated by Fisher's exact test and logistic regression analysis, controlling for geographical region and exposure. Results Using the sub-subtypes of HIV-1 G defined by Delatorre et al. (PLoS One 2014. 9 e98908) the most common subtypes were CRF02_AG (174, 41.0%), GWA-I (128, 30.2%), GWA-II (24, 5.7%), GCA (11, 2.6%), A (21, 5.0%) and CRF06_cpx (18, 4.2%). One hundred and ninety infants (44.8%) had ≥1 NNRTI mutation, 92 infants (21.7%) had ≥1 NRTI mutation and 6 infants (1.4%) had ≥1 PI mutation. By logistic regression, 67N was more common in GWA-II/GCA than CRF02_AG (OR 12.0, P = 0.006), as was 70R (OR 23.1, P = 0.007), 184I/V (OR 2.92, P = 0.020), the presence of ≥1 thymidine analogue mutation (TAM) (OR 3.87, P = 0.014), ≥1 type 2 TAM (OR 7.61, P = 0.001) and ≥1 NRTI mutation (OR 3.26, P = 0.005). Conclusions This dataset reveals differences among SDRMs by subtype; in particular, between the GWA-II and GCA subclades, compared with CRF02_AG and GWA-I.

Abstract
Historically, in HIV patients, the K65R mutation and thymidine analogue mutations (TAMs) have been reported to rarely coexist. We retrospectively reviewed genotype data from paired samples in a cohort of HIV-1-infected Nigerian patients failing first-line antiretroviral therapies containing zidovudine (AZT) or tenofovir (TDF). Samples for each patient were taken at initial confirmed virological failure ≥1000 copies/ml (S1) and then at the latest available sample with viral load ≥1000 copies/ml before switch to second line (S2). Among 103 patients failing AZT, 19 (18.4%) had TAM-1s, 29 (28.2%) TAM-2s, and 21 (20.4%) mixed TAMs by S2. In contrast, in the 87 patients failing TDF, drug resistance mutations at S2 included K65R in 56 (64.4%), TAM-1s in 1 (1.1%), and TAM-2s in 25 patients (28.7%). Interestingly, 30.4% of patients with K65R in our study developed TAMs. These were exclusively K219E ± D67N and were not predicted to confer a resistance cost to future AZT-containing regimens.
