Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The aim of our study was to assess the different mutations involved in clarithromycin-resistant Helicobacter pylori strains isolated from French children and their temporal trends. METHODS: The point mutations of H. pylori were detected by PCR followed by RFLP technique in 50 clarithromycin-resistant strains collected between 1993 and 2004 in France. RESULTS: Clarithromycin resistance was observed in...
