Prevalence of Primary Fluoroquinolone Resistance Among Clinical Isolates of <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> at a University Hospital in Southern Taiwan

Abstract

Drug resistance to ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin in H. pylori collected from 2004 to 2007 increased significantly compared with resistance level observed during 1998-2003. The continuous surveillance of quinolone resistance among H. pylori is important in this area.
