Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Tetracycline is an antibiotic widely used for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection, but its effectiveness is decreasing due to increasing bacterial resistance. The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of 16S rRNA mutations associated with resistance or reduced susceptibility to tetracycline of Helicobacter pylori by real-time PCR (RT-PCR) assays from culture.
