Primary clarithromycin resistance is increasing worldwide, and it has been regarded as the main factor reducing the efficacy of Helicobacter pylori therapy. However, the clinical consequence of either phenotypic or genotypic resistance still remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate: (i) the concordance between phenotypic (culture) and genotypic (real-time PCR) tests in assessing primary clarithromycin resistance; and (ii) the role of both in therapeutic outcome.

Abstract

Primary clarithromycin resistance is increasing worldwide, and it has been regarded as the main factor reducing the efficacy of Helicobacter pylori therapy. However, the clinical consequence of either phenotypic or genotypic resistance still remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate: (i) the concordance between phenotypic (culture) and genotypic (real-time PCR) tests in assessing primary clarithromycin resistance; and (ii) the role of both in therapeutic outcome.
