A comparative study of the effect of 10-day esomeprazole containing levofloxacin versus clarithromycin sequential regimens on the treatment of Iranian patients with Helicobacter pylori infection

CONCLUSIONS: Both esomeprazole containing sequential regimens including levofloxacin and clarithromycin showed good eradication rates in spite of significant differences in antimicrobial resistance patterns in vitro. The efficacy of esomeprazole in lowering gastric acidity beside its antimicrobial effect should be considered in H. pylori regimens.
