Polymerase Chain Reaction–Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism Analysis of Clarithromycin‐Resistant <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> Infection in Children Using Stool Sample

Abstract

We conclude that the PCR-RFLP using stool samples is a rapid and reliable method to noninvasively detect clarithromycin-resistant H. pylori infection in children. It may be useful before choosing regimens of H. pylori eradication.
