Change in Antibiotic Resistance of Helicobacter pylori Strains and the Effect of A2143G Point Mutation of 23S rRNA on the Eradication of H. pylori in a Single Center of Korea

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The current prevalence of primary antibiotic resistance of H. pylori is not known in Korea. This study was done to evaluate the prevalence of primary antibiotic resistance of H. pylori, and to evaluate the effect of point mutations of 23S rRNA on the rate of eradication of H. pylori. METHODS: H. pylori were isolated from gastric mucosal biopsy specimens obtained from 222 Koreans. The susceptibilities...
