Polymorphisms in the host CYP2C19 gene and antibiotic-resistance attributes ofHelicobacter pyloriisolates influence the outcome of triple therapy

Abstract excerpt
Objectives: Eradication of Helicobacter pylori is influenced by susceptibility to antimicrobial agents, elevated bacterial load and degree of acid inhibition, which can be affected by genotypes of drug-metabolizing enzymes [cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19 polymorphism]. Theoretically, the choice and dose of proton pump inhibitor may also influence the suppression of H. pylori infection. The CYP2C19 genotype has...
