Antibiotic-resistance Patterns of Helicobacter pylori isolates Obtained from Patients in Kerman- 2009
Background & Aims: Based on serological studies the prevalence of Helicobacter Pylori infection in Iranian adults is up to 80%. Gastritis, peptic ulcer and gastric adenocarcinoma are common clinical outcomes of this infection in Iran. Since antibiotic resistance patterns of Helicobacter pylori are different geographically, local studies are highly required. Method: From April to December 2009, ...
متن کاملAntibiotic-resistance patterns of Helicobacter pylori in Croatia: cohort study.
AIM To provide information on regional sensitivity of H. pylori to antibiotic treatment by investigating the rate of H. pylori eradication in Croatia. METHODS The study included 217 outpatients (107 women and 110 men), with gastrointestinal symptoms and H. pylori positive finding. They received the first-line and second-line treatments. The first-line treatment included triple therapies with ...
متن کاملAntibiotic resistance in Helicobacter pylori infection.
Resistance to antibiotics is considered as the primary reason for failure of eradication therapies. Resistance to clarithromycin is due to a decrease in binding to the ribosomes associated with a point mutation on the 23S rRNA. Its rate in Europe varies from 0-15%, with 5% in the UK. The resistance influences dramatically the success of the treatments. Resistance to metronidazole is due to a la...
متن کاملResistance of Helicobacter pylori to furazolidone and levofloxacin: A viewpoint
In their review, Arslan et al[1] did not describe the status of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) treatment with furazolidone and the resistance to this antibiotic. We have presented different surveys showing the resistance of H. pylori to furazolidone from Asia and South America. The resistance rates varied but were mostly low (< 5%). There are not enough data on its efficacy and resistance in t...
متن کاملRegional Antibiotic Resistance of Helicobacter pylori
Antibiotic resistance is considered the cause of unsuccessful eradication of Helicobactor pylori (H. pylori) infections. Awareness of regional resistance rates of H. pylori isolates can improve not only empiric antibiotic therapy but also lead to the development of second line treatment and rescue regimens. At present, the most common treatment is empiric eradication. Global regional regimen th...
