Usefulness of rapid urease test samples for molecular analysis of clarithromycin resistance in Helicobacter pylori.

In conclusion, the biopsy specimens used for the rapid urease test were suitable samples for clarithromycin resistance detection in patients infected with H. pylori, which became especially useful in cases where the number or size of the biopsies is limited. In addition, this is the first report of a molecular analysis for clarithromycin resistance performed directly from gastric biopsies in our region. PMID: 29602600 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
