ABSTRACT
Background:
Antimicrobial resistance is one of the main obstacles for an effective eradication of H. pylori infection.Aim:
To determine the susceptibility of H. pylori strains obtained from gastric biopsies to metronidazole, clarithromycin and amoxicillin. Material andmethods:
Susceptibility to metronidazole, clarithromycin and amoxicillin was determined using E-test in 46 isolates ofH. pylori obtained from gastric biopsies of 54 adult patients.Results:
Thirty three percent of isolates were resistant to metronidazole and 2 percent were resistant to clarithromycin and amoxicillin. One isolate was resistant to metronidazole and clarithromycin.Conclusions:
The antimicrobial susceptibility of these strains ofH. pylori obtained from Paraguayan patients, may help to decide the initial therapy to eradicate this infection.
