Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine the occurrence of 16S rRNA mutations associated with low-level tetracycline resistance in Helicobacter pylori isolates from adult dyspeptic patients in South West Nigeria. METHODS: Susceptibility testing to tetracycline of 50 H. pylori isolates was performed by Etest. The 535-bp conserved region of the H. pylori tetracycline-binding site of 16S rRNA was amplified...
