Whole Genome Sequencing for Studying Helicobacter pylori Antimicrobial Resistance

Abstract excerpt

Antibiotic resistance (AMR) is an alarming concern worldwide and Helicobacter pylori, one of the most prevalent bacteria, is not an exception. With antibiotics being its primary therapy, increasing resistance leads to a higher rate of treatment failure. Understanding the genomic mechanisms of resistance to clarithromycin, levofloxacin, metronidazole, amoxicillin, tetracycline, and rifampicin through...
