Application of 3'-mismatched reverse primer PCR compared with real-time PCR and PCR-RFLP for the rapid detection of 23S rDNA mutations associated with clarithromycin resistance in Helicobacter pylori.

Abstract excerpt

Helicobacter pylori clarithromycin (Cla) resistance dramatically reduces efficacy of eradication therapy. In this study, 3'-mismatched reverse primer PCR (3M-PCR), real-time PCR (LightCycler), and PCR-RFLP assays were investigated to determine their sensitivity for detecting clarithromycin resist...
