HBV replication characteristics
• High replication rate, as many as 1012 virions/day.
• High mutational rate of 105 to 104
substitutions/base/cycle.
• HBV RT does not have a proofreading function
to repair incorrectly incorporated nucleotides.

anti-HBV drug resistance in untreated patients with chronic hepatitis BJournal of Viral Hepatitis, 2011, 18, e212–e216.

HBV Characteristics that Protect Against
Resistance
• Conservatory constraints on overlapping open
reading frames
• Control of HBV replication by the immune
system
• Barrier to resistance and viral variant fitness

Preventing Resistance from the Start to
Ensure Long-Term Treatment Success
Prevention
Judicious timing of treatment
Education regarding adherence
First-line
therapy
High potency drug with a high genetic barrier to resistance,
eg, ETV or TDF
Consider PEG IFN in suitable patients
(eg, high ALT, low HBV DNA)
Monitoring
Regular 3-6 monthly monitoring of viral load with
sensitive HBV DNA assay
Genotypic resistance testing in patients with
virological breakthrough
Salvage
therapy
Early initiation of “add on” salvage therapy
Avoid “switch” sequential monotherapy
Avoid combination therapy using drugs with similar cross resistance
profiles

• Preventing Resistance from the Start to Ensure Long-Term
Treatment Success
• HBV resistance is decline, but challenge remain
