Abstract
Specific mutations in respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) fusion protein can cause palivizumab resistance. We assessed the incidence of sequence polymorphisms and palivizumab resistance in clinical RSV isolates collected from immunoprophylaxis-naive subjects. Polymorphisms were identified at low frequency, and only polymorphic mutations in antigenic site A (<1% of all polymorphisms) conferred palivizumab resistance.
