Multi-drug resistant (MDR)-HIV-1 variants are thought to be less fit than wild type virus. In 2005 we reported a case of transmitted MDR-HIV-1 infection associated with dual tropism and rapid clinical progression. Here, we report the in vitro characterization of the virus isolates. Replication characteristics of bulk and clonal isolates from this case (MDR-1) were examined and compared with these to a panel of transmitted MDR and wild type viruses (MDR-2~4, WT-1, 2). Infectivity and frequency of infectious virion of propagated isolates were high in MDR-1 biological clones (mean titer, 3.5×105 TCID50/ml; mean frequency of infectious virion, 1/2,444) and its bulk isolate (3.2×106TCID50/ml; 1/301), as compared to the other biological clones (7.3×103TCID50/ml; 1/21,320). Up-slope (log10p24/ml/d) of viral replication in PBMC culture was much higher in MDR-1 clones (1.30±0.30: mean±SD) than those of MDR-2~4 (0.75±0.08) or WT-1, -2 clones (0.82±0.03). The bulk isolate and dual tropic biological clones from MDR-1 depleted CD4+ T cells very rapidly in vitro compared to the other viruses tested. These findings support the hypothesis that multi-drug resistant HIV-1 can effectively evolve and compensate to not only retain high level replication but exhibit virulence associated with rapid disease progression.
