17 Feb 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Helicobacter pylori is an important pathogen of human gastric mucosa. Antibiotic resistance, especially resistance to clarithromycin is a major factor for treatment failure of H. pylori infections. The main mechanism of clarithromycin resistance in these bacteria is related to point mutations in three different locations of 23S rRNA gene. OBJECTIVES: The aims of this study were to evaluate the...
