Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Canadian Isolates of <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> in Northeastern Ontario

Abstract

In general, resistance to metronidazole, ciprofloxacin/levofloxacin and clarithromycin has increased since the studies in the early 2000s. These results suggest that surveillance programs of H pylori antibiotic resistance may need to be revisited or improved to prevent antimicrobial therapy failure.
