RESUMO
100 gastric biopsies, in two transport media, were homogenized and cultured on three media under microaerophilic conditions. Columbia agar with commercial antibiotic supplement [containing 10 mg Vancomycin, 05mg trimethoprim, 05 mg cefsulodin and 05 mg ampotericin B per litre] yielded the best results. Growth was obtained in 3-7 days. The resistance to nalidixic acid and rapid urease production of H. pylon could be used to differentiate this species form cainpylobacter spp. Metronidazole resistance was found in 27/43[63%] of isolates. All the isolates were found to be sensitive to Amoxycillin, Clarithromycin and Tetracycline
