Popis: Background As the prevalence of antibiotic resistance is increasing, the effectiveness of traditional Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) therapies is gradually declining. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of tailored therapy (dual priming oligonucleotide [DPO]-based multiplex PCR) and previous antibiotic exposure survey predicting for antibiotic resistance. Materials and methods Patients with H pylori infection who did not receive previous treatment were enrolled. The patients were divided into four groups (no resistance [NR] group, clarithromycin resistance [CLA-R] group, metronidazole-resistant [MET-R] group, and CLA- and MET-resistant [Dual-R] group) based on the results of dual priming oligonucleotide (DPO) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and previous antibiotic exposure survey, and they were treated with tailored therapy based on antibiotic susceptibility. Results Consecutive patients were distributed in the NR (n = 36, 70.6%), CLA-R (n = 9, 17.6%), and suspected MET-R (n = 6, 11.8%) group. The overall intention-to-treat/per-protocol eradication rate (ITT/PP) was 92.2%/94.0%. In the subgroup analysis, the ITT and PP of the NR, CLA-R, and MET-R groups were 94.4%/94.4%, 77.8%/87.5%, and 100.0%/100.0%, respectively. Total of 31 patients in all subgroups were evaluated for antibiotic resistance; five (16.1%), two (6.5%), and three (9.7%) participants showed CLA, MET, and dual resistance in culture-based susceptibility test. Compared with culture-based MIC test, the accuracy of DPO-based multiplex PCR in determining CLA resistance was 90.3%, while the accuracy of survey in determining MET resistance was only 77.4%. Conclusion A tailored therapy based on DPO-PCR and history of previous antibiotic use is useful in clinical practice and well correlated with culture-based susceptibility test.
