Characterization of susceptibility variants of poliovirus grown in the presence of favipiravir

Background: T-705 (favipiravir) is a potent inhibitor of RNA-dependent RNA polymerases of influenza viruses and no favipiravir-resistant virus has been isolated. Poliovirus RNA polymerase has been well characterized and isolation of resistant virus was examined in poliovirus. Methods: Susceptibility...
