Abstract excerpt
Tetracycline has been used with other antibiotics in treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection. However, tetracycline resistance has developed in H. pylori clinical isolates, rendering treatment failure. Mutations in 16S rRNA genes have been reported to mediate tetracycline resistance in some isolates. The diversity of tetracycline resistance cases suggests multiple genes are involved. HP1165, a putative...
