Abstrakt: Background: Antimicrobial susceptibility of Helicobacter (H.) pylori is usually determined by phenotypic methods. When H. pylori cannot be grown owing to contaminations or delay in transport of gastric tissue samples to the microbiological laboratory, molecular genetic testing is a reasonable alternative. The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the outcome of salvage eradication treatments based on molecular genetic susceptibility testing.
Methods: Data on 144 H. pylori PCR-positive gastric tissue samples of patients primarily with prior unsuccessful eradication treatments were retrospectively analyzed. Eradication treatments were recommended based on genotypic clarithromycin and/or levofloxacin susceptibility as tested by real-time PCR or reverse hybridization. Treatment success was assessed by attending physicians using urea breath test; stool-antigen ELISA; and microbiology/histopathology.
Results: Overall success rate of molecular genetic testing-guided salvage treatments was low (68%); none of the regimens chosen was significantly better than another. Multivariable logistic regression analysis did not reveal any factors that may predict treatment failure.
Conclusions: Eradication success was poor despite susceptibility testing. Gastroenterologists are advised to prescribe recommended salvage treatments, considering recommended dosages and prolonged treatment duration.
