Here, we evaluated a previously established peptide nucleic acid-fluorescence in situ
hybridization (PNA-FISH) method as a new diagnostic test for Helicobacter pylori …

Antimicrobial resistance to clarithromycin is a growing concern in the treatment of
Helicobacter pylori and is associated with three major point mutations of the 23S rRNA …

ABSTRACT A novel PCR detection assay that amplifies the Helicobacter pylori-specific
vacuolating cytotoxin gene (vacA) and thus enables rapid diagnosis of infection is …

Rapid identification of patients infected with clarithromycin-resistant Helicobacter pylori
without the need for culture can help to avoid useless prescriptions of clarithromycin. We …

BACKGROUND The development of macrolide resistance in Helicobacter pylori is
considered an essential reason for failure of antibiotic eradication therapies. The …

Background Triple therapy is the gold standard treatment for Helicobacter pylori eradication
from the human stomach, but increased resistance to clarithromycin became the main factor …

In this study, we have investigated 201 gastric biopsy specimens obtained from dyspeptic
patients for the presence of Helicobacter pylori. By means of fluorescent in situ hybridization …

Background: Clarithromycin resistance and poor compliance to therapy are often
responsible for Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy failure. Aim: To evaluate …

Helicobacter pylori gram-negative bacteria commonly infect the human gastrointestinal (GI)
tract and are readily diagnosed by endoscopy. H. pylori infection causes a broad range of …

ABSTRACT Background: Empirical treatment of Helicobacter pylo ri (HP) depends on the
local prevalence of clarithromycin resistance but data are lacking and culturing of HP is time …
