Abstract excerpt
Helicobacter pylori strains from seven patients treated with clarithromycin were investigated for development, mechanism, and stability of resistance. Genetic relatedness between pre- and posttreatment isolates was shown by arbitrary primed PCR. Clarithromycin resistance was associated with A-to-G transitions at either position 2143 or 2144 or at both positions 2116 and 2142. In four cases, the mutations were...
