The following statement is true concerning viral resistance to HIV protease inhibitors: 1. High-level resistance occurs to the reverse transcriptase enzyme.2. It occurs as an accumulation of stepwise mutations of the protease gene.3. It occurs to prevent allosteric inhibition of the reverse transcriptase enzyme.4. Resistance occurs as four specific substitutions of the integrase gene.5. A single-point mutation occurs within the integrase gene.

The following is the mechanism of resistance to amphotericin B: 1. Mutations in the gene encoding α- sterol demethylase enzyme 2. Impaired ergosterol binding 3. Accumulation of stepwise mutations of the protease gene 4. Altered fungal deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) polymerase. 5. Multiple-layered thick cell wall, which may limit drug entry
