Abstract excerpt
Helicobacter pylori resistance to macrolides is increasing, and the need for susceptibility testing has become crucial. The only standardized method is agar dilution, which is not adapted to clinical practice. The present work aimed: (1) to optimize the technical conditions and to assess the reproducibility of the E-test and disk diffusion method for macrolides susceptibility testing of H. pylori, and (2) to...
