Surveillance of CMV Terminase Gene Mutations in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients Receiving Letermovir Prophylaxis. (PubMed, J Med Virol) - Jul 11, 2026 - "Clinically significant CMV infections were successfully managed with preemptive therapies. This study confirms the efficacy of LMV prophylaxis and demonstrates that LMV exerts selective pressure on the terminase complex, increasing the risk of resistance when CMV DNA levels exceed 3 log IU/mL, underscoring the importance of timely consideration of alternative antiviral therapies when CMV replication persists."
