Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: In Malaysia, the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori resistance to clarithromycin is increasing. This study aimed to determine mutations in the 23S rRNA domain V directly using bacterial DNA extracted from gastric biopsy specimens with a urease-positive result. METHODS: A 1085-bp fragment of 23S rRNA domain V from samples of 62 treatment-naïve patients with H. pylori infection was amplified by PCR with...
