 AB    Characterization of a ganciclovir-resistant cytomegalovirus strain from
       a patient with AIDS showed a histidine-to-glutamine change at residue
       520 of UL97 (Q520 mutation). In anabolism studies, Q520 was associated
       with impaired phosphorylation of ganciclovir. Transfer of Q520 to a
       recombinant virus resulted in a ganciclovir-resistant phenotype.
