Detection of Clarithromycin-Resistant Helicobacter pylori Strains by a Preferential Homoduplex Formation Assay
1 Jan 2000
Abstract excerpt
It has been shown that resistance to clarithromycin, a major cause of failure in Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy, is associated with point mutations in the 23S rRNA gene. We sought to apply the preferential homoduplex formation assay (PHFA), a novel technique for the efficient detection of point mutations, to detection of the mutations. PHFA was performed on streptavidin-coated microtiter plates with...
