Resistance Rates to Various Antimicrobial Agents of Helicobacter pylori Isolates in Eastern Turkey
Authors
Abstract:
The aim of this study was to determine the resistance rates of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) to various antimicrobial agents. The agar disk diffusion method (Kirby Bauer) was used to determine the sensitivity of H. pylori isolates to various antimicrobials. Of the 61 H. pylori isolatestested, no isolates was resistant to amoxycillin and tetracycline. The resistance rates were 42.6% for metronidazole, 21.3% for clarithromycin, and 3.3% for levofloxacin. Compared to clarithromycin and metronidazole, levofloxacin showed the lowest resistance. This is the first report on the resistance rates of H. pylori to antibiotics in Elazig Province, East of Turkey. This study suggests that the large scale studies is needed to help us to understand better the effect of resistance on the H. pylori eradication.

During 1998-2004, a total of 218 Helicobacter pylori isolates were obtained from patients who were randomised to receive one of the following regimens in a medical centre in Taiwan: lansoprazole, amoxicillin and clarithromycin (LAC) therapy; or lansoprazole, metronidazole and clarithromycin (LMC) therapy. In the LMC group, resistance rates for metronidazole and clarithromycin reduced from 48.6%...

The main purpose of the study is to determine resistance pattern of bacterial isolates to selected antibiotics among 88 dyspeptic patients in Iran. Frequency of infection among these patients have been evaluated among dyspeptic patients old (45 boys and 43 girls, aged 5-18 years) from 2016 to 2017.Eighty-eight patients with gastroduodenal disorders were included in the study. Urease test modifi...

INTRODUCTION Antibiotic resistance is the main factor that affects the efficacy of current therapeutic regimens against Helicobacter pylori. This study aimed to determine the rates of resistance to efficacy clarithromycin, amoxicillin, tetracycline, levofloxacin and metronidazole among H. pylori strains isolated from Turkish patients with dyspepsia. METHODS H. pylori was cultured from corpus ...
