Abstract excerpt
Treatment failure with standard Helicobacter pylori eradication regimes may require the use of 'rescue' therapies containing fluoroquinolones or rifamycins. The susceptibilities of H. pylori in the UK to such antimicrobials are unknown; therefore, this study aimed to determine the frequencies and molecular markers of resistance. Ciprofloxacin and rifampicin susceptibilities were determined by Etest and/or disc...
