Clinical relevance of point mutations in the 23S rRNA gene in Helicobacter pylori eradication

Abstract excerpt

Clarithromycin-based triple therapy is prescribed worldwide for Helicobacter pylori eradication. However, increases in the clarithromycin resistance of H pylori are thought to be responsible for eradication failure. Here, we studied whether point mutations in domain V of the 23S rRNA gene can affect H pylori eradication failure in a prospective, open-label, observational study. Of the 755 enrolled patients, 299...
