In summary, molecular biology methods can be used for early detection of CMV in characteristic colonic lesions in HIV-1-positive patients. Furthermore, detection of mutant strains resistant to antiviral drugs as well as polymorphisms elucidate the natural history of the infection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
