چکیده مقاله:

Resistance to drug such as metronidazole is one the commonest causes of treatment failure while eradicating Helicobacter pylori . Considering the safety of ketoconazole and fluconazole and their inhibitory activity on biosynthesis of fatty acids from cholesterol in cell membrane of H.pylori , the idea of their efficacy against H.pylori is raising . The aim of this study is to evaluate susceptibilities of metronidazole-resistant strains of H.pylori against two antifungal drugs, ketoconazole and fluconazole. In this prospective cross-sectional study, 35 isolates of H.pylori from patients with digestive disorders were recruited. Plates were incubated microaerobically. Resistance to metronidazole, minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of ketoconazole and fluconazole for H.pylori isolates were determined by two methods: disc diffusion and agar dilution. Disc diffusion method indicated that metronidazole resistance was seen in 11 strains out of 35. Ketoconazole and fluconazole MICs were 8 and 40 mg/lit , respectively, which was confirmed by agar dilution method. Ketoconazole and fluconazole showed an excellent in vitro activity against the H.pylori isolates. However, in vivo activity of these drugs should be evaluated in controlled clinical trials.

Antimicrobial effectiveness of furazolidone against metronidazole-resistant strains of Helicobacter pylori.

The occurrence of strains resistant to metronidazole is causing failure of the 4-drug regimen for eradication of Helicobacter pylori in the Islamic Republic of Iran. This study compared the in vitro efficacy of furazolidone with metronidazole, clarithromycin, amoxicillin and tetracycline in 70 H. pylori isolates from dyspeptic patients. Of the isolates, 33% were resistant to metronidazole but a...

Metronidazole Resistance of Helicobacter Pylori in Bahrain

Resistance of Helicobacter pylori (HP) to metronidazole (MTZ) is a growing medical problem in various parts of the world. There has been no reports on this problem from our geographic region and the aim of this study is to evaluate the percentage of MTZ resistance among isolates in Bahrain. Out of 72 isolated strains 34 (47.2%) were resistant to MTZ. The resistance among males and females was 5...
