Popis: Abstract Clarithromycin (CLR) is currently a key antibiotic for Helicobacter pylori infection treatment, however, the data on CLR resistance patterns in Russia are missing. Here, we applied WGS-based approach to H. pylori clinical isolates from Russia to comprehensively investigate sequence variation, identify putative markers of CLR resistance and correlate them with phenotypic susceptibility testing. The phenotypic susceptibility of 44 H. pylori isolates (2014–2022) to CLR was determined by disc diffusion method: 23 isolates were CLR-resistant and 21-CLR-susceptible. All isolates were subjected to WGS and submitted to GenBank. Based on complete sequence analysis, we showed that among all sequence variants, the combination of mutations A2146G/A2147G in the 23S rRNA gene is the most reliable for prediction of phenotypic susceptibility. For the first time, the average number of mutations in 106 virulence-associated genes between resistant and susceptible groups were compared. Moreover, this study presents the first WGS insight into genetic diversity of H. pylori in Russia with a particular focus on the molecular basis of drug resistance: the novel mutations were described as potential markers for the resistance development. Of these, the most prominent was a frameshift deletion (252:CGGGT) in HP0820 coding region, which is a good candidate for further investigation.
