Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Most clarithromycin-resistant strains of Helicobacter pylori have a mutation from adenine (A) to guanine (G) at position 2142 or 2143 of the 23S rRNA gene. Our aim in this study was to develop a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based assay that could determine these mutations in a single reaction tube. METHODS: We designed the forward primer FP2143G and the reverse primer RP2142G, which...
