In spite of this advance, the antiretroviral resistance mutations and viral genetic diversity remain the main obstacles in the fight against AIDS. The resistance pattern of HIV-1 to antiretrovirals can be evaluated by resistance tests, specially the genotype testing that allows detection of mutations in the viral genome. This study describes the prevalence of primary HIV-1 drug resistance and subtypes circulating in Mato Grosso, Central West Brazil. Plasma samples from 105 naive patients were colleted during the years 2008 and 2009 to perform the viral resistance genotyping at Tropical Pathology and Public Health Institute, Federal University of Goiás. Protease (PR) and partial reverse transcriptase (RT) were amplified and sequenced from plasma RNA. HIV-1 pol subtypes were assigned by phylogenetic analysis through Los Alamos Database. ARV resistance mutations were analyzed by Stanford University Database and International AIDS Society. Ninety two of the 105 samples had their RNA amplified, 5 (5,43%) of them harboring a resistant strain. Nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors, nonnucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors and protease inhibitors associed mutations were present in 3 (3,26%), 1(1,08%) and 1(1,08%) samples respectively. Reverse transcriptase gene mutations were observed at códons 219 (K219E), 67 (D67N) e 103 (K103N). Protease gene mutation was observed at códon 90 (L90M). This study revealed that the main mutations are related to reversetranscriptase inhibitors, mainly INTR, reflecting the widespread use of reversetranscriptase inhibitors in the initiation of antiretroviral therapy. Moreover, shows the wide genetic diversity with a significant proportion of distinct BF1 recombinants and the co-circulation of subtypes B, F1 and C in Central West Brazil. / O uso de antirretrovirais (ARVs) reduziu a morbi-mortalidade relacionada à infecção pelo vírus da imunodeficiência humana (HIV). Apesar deste avanço, as mutações de resistência aos antirretrovirais e a diversidade genética do HIV-1 permanecem os principais obstáculos na luta contra a AIDS. O padrão de resistência do HIV-1 aos ARVs pode ser determinado através de testes de resistência, especialmente a genotipagem que permite a detecção de mutações do genoma viral. Este estudo descreve a prevalência de resistência primária às drogas antirretrovirais e subtipos circulantes no Estado de Mato Grosso, no centro-oeste brasileiro. Foram colhidas 105 amostras de plasma de pacientes infectados com HIV-1, virgens de tratamento, durante o período de outubro de 2008 a setembro de 2009 para a realização do teste de resistência genotípica no Instituto de Patologia Tropical e Saúde Pública da Universidade Federal de Goiás. A protease e fragmento da transcriptase reversa do HIV-1 foram amplificados e seqüenciados a partir do RNA plasmático. Os subtipos do gene pol do HIV-1 foram avaliados por análise filogenética por meio do banco de dados de Los Alamos. As mutações de resistência aos ARVs foram analisadas pelo banco de dados da Universidade de Stanford e International AIDS Society. Dos 105 pacientes, 92 tiveram o RNA do HIV-1 amplificado e seqüenciado, sendo que 5 (5,43%) apresentaram cepas resistentes. Entre os 5 pacientes com resistência, 3 (3,26%) apresentavam mutações para os inibidores da transcriptase reversa análogos ao nucleosideo, 1(1,08%) para os inibidores da transcriptase reversa não análogos ao nucleosideo e 1 (1,08%) para os inibidores da protease. As mutações no gene da transcriptase reversa foram observadas nos códons 219 (K219E), 67 (D67N) e 103 (K103N). A mutação no gene da protease foi observada no códon 90 (L90M). Este estudo revelou que as principais mutações encontradas estão relacionadas aos inibidores da transcriptase reversa, principalmente INTR, refletindo o amplo uso de inibidores da transcriptase reversa no início da terapia antirretroviral. Além disso, mostra a grande diversidade genética com significativa proporção de recombinantes BF1 e a co-circulação de subtipos B, F1 e C no centro-oeste brasileiro.
