Background: Clarithromycin resistance in Helicbacter pylori has been found to be associated with point mutations in 23s rRNA gene leads to reduced affinity of the antibiotic to its ribosomal target or changing the site of methylation. The aim of this study was to determine the most important point mutations in 23s rRNA gene in H. pylori that are closely related to clarith-romycin resistance amo...

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 metron...

background helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) is one of the most common infectious diseases in the world. it colonizes about 50-60% of the world’s population. the estimated prevalence of h. pylori infection is approximately 65% in iran. objectives the aim of the present study was to investigate the antimicrobial resistance of h. pylori to metronidazole, clarithromycin and amoxicillin. materials an...

results of the 135 h. pylori-positive specimens, two harbored strains with the a2143g mutation and nine contained strains with the a2144g mutation. thus, the prevalences of the a2143g and a2144g point mutations were 1.5% and 6.7%, respectively. the a2143c point mutation was not found. conclusions the prevalences of the point mutations a2143g and a2144g were low in our geographic area. based on ...

Helicobacter pylori resistance to metronidazole was detected in 107 (52.97%) of 202 strains. Twenty (9.85%) strains, 18 of them harboring 23S ribosomal DNA mutations, were resistant to clarithromycin. Metronidazole resistance was associated with female gender. Resistance to metronidazole and resistance to clarithromycin were associated. Increasing clarithromycin resistance rates were observed o...

BACKGROUND Therapy for Helicobacter pylori is generally empiric despite the fact that resistance to metronidazole and clarithromycin compromise therapeutic efficacy. The aim of this study was to aid clinicians in choosing a course of therapy for H pylori infection in the United States. METHODS The frequency of primary clarithromycin and metronidazole resistance among H pylori isolated from pa...

The resistance of Helicobacter pylori to the recently available antibiotic treatment regimens has been a growing problem. We investigated the prevalence of H. pylori resistance to clarithromycin, metronidazole, and amoxicillin among 51 H. pylori isolates from Japanese children. In addition, the mutations of the corresponding gene were studied by PCR and restriction fragment length polymorphism ...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Clarithromycin is an effective antibiotic for treating Helicobacter pylori; however, the development clarithromycin- resistance by multiple strains prevents the eradication of Helicobacter pylori. We aimed to characterize mutations in the 23S rRNA gene of primary clarithromycin-sensitive, primary clarithromycin-resistant and secondary clarithromycin-resistant Helicobacter pylori...
