Resistance is thought to result usually from a genetic mutation.
In HIV, such mutations can change the structure of viral enzymes and proteins so that an antiviral drug can no longer bind with them as well as it used to. Resistance detected by searching a pathogen's genetic makeup for mutations thought to confer lower susceptibility is called genotypic resistance. Resistance found by successfully growing laboratory cultures of the pathogen in the presence of a drug is called phenotypic resistance. Depending on the toxicity of the drug, low-level resistance may be overcome by using higher doses of the drug in question. HIV is an example of a retrovirus.
