Molecular tools of antibiotic resistance for Helicobacter pylori: an overview in Latin America

Abstract excerpt

Antibiotic resistance in the treatment of H. pylori infection is the principal reason for the failure of eradication regimens using the triple therapy. We reviewed the mechanisms of H. pylori antibiotic resistance and assessed the molecular tools commonly used to detect antibiotic resistance in Latin America. Most commonly reported molecular techniques were PCR and sequencing, as well as its variants PCR-RFLP and...
