The HIV-1 epidemic in African countries is largely due to non-B HIV-1 subtypes. Patterns and frequency of antiretroviral drug resistance mutations observed in these countries may differ from those in the developed world, where HIV-1 subtype B predominates. HIV-1 subtype and drug resistance mutations were assayed among Nigerian patients with treatment failure on first line therapy (plasma HIV RNA >1000 copies/ml). Sequence analysis of the RT and PR gene revealed drug resistance mutations and HIV-1 viral subtype. Specific patterns of mutations and clinical characteristics are described in patients with the K65R mutation. Since 2005, 338 patients were evaluated. The most prevalent subtypes were CRF02_AG [152/338 (44.9%)] and G [128/338 (37.9%)]. 307/338 (90.8%) patients had previously received stavudine and/or zidovudine + lamivudine + efavirenz or nevirapine; 41/338 (12.1%) had received tenofovir. The most common NRTI mutations observed were M184V (301, 89.1%) and K70R (91, 26.9%). The K65R mutation was present in 37/338 (10.9%) patients. The Q151M (p<0.05), K219R and T69del (p<0.01) mutations were more common in patients with K65R who had not received tenofovir. The K65R mutation is increasingly recognized and is a challenging finding among patients with non-B HIV subtypes whether or not they have been exposed to TDF.
