-- A total of 9 minority variants resistant to PI were identified: 5 were found by clonal sequencing, and 4 by UDPS .
-- UDPS and clonal sequencing identified minority variants resistant to PIs in 6 of the 29 NS3 isolates at prevalence ranging from 0.5% to 2.4% (figure 4).
-- A total of 16 minority variants resistant to NNI were identified: 5 were found by clonal sequencing, 10 by UDPS and 1 by both techniques.
