Abstract Background Adapted treatments for Helicobacter pylori infection, guided by
determining antimicrobial resistance, are associated with high eradication rates. We …

Background There are several methods for Helicobacter pylori infection diagnosis. Aim The
efficacies of three methods for H. pylori identification directly from a biopsy were compared …

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

Aims and Objectives More than half of the world's population is infected with Helicobacter
pylori, which can cause chronic gastritis. WHO has regarded clarithromycin-resistant H …

Molecular testing can rapidly detect Helicobacter pylori susceptibility using gastric biopsies.
Allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (ASP-PCR) was used to identify H. pylori 23S …

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

Abstract Background The diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection can be made by PCR on
gastric biopsies. The objective of this study was to evaluate retrospectively the performance …

Background Knowledge of antimicrobial susceptibility, especially to macrolides, has become
crucial for the management of Helicobacter pylori infection. Our aim was to evaluate two new …

The benefits of using a multiplex detection polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for
Helicobacter pylori speciation and 2 real-time probe hybridization assays determining …

OBJECTIVES: We previously showed that real-time PCR was a reliable technique for
coupled detection of Helicobacter pylori and clarithromycin resistance mutations directly …
