Drug resistance is a major challenge for HCV-infection related control. Importantly, the arrival of a plethora of novel, more powerful drugs has revolutionized the field of HCV treatment. Here, we discuss the relevance of identification of HCV resistant mutants from a clinical standpoint. The advantage and limitations of molecular testing in clinical setting is presented.}, journal = {American Journal of Infectious Diseases}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
