Abstract Background Integrase inhibitors are currently being incorporated into highly active antiretroviral therapy HAART . Due to high HIV variability integrase inhibitor efficacy must be evaluated against a range of integrase enzymes from different subtypes. Methods This study compares the enzymatic activities of HIV-1 integrase from subtypes B and C as well as susceptibility to various integrase inhibitors in vitro. The catalytic activities of both enzymes were analyzed in regard to each of 3 processing and strand transfer
