The interplay between mutations in cagA, 23S rRNA, gyrA and drug resistance in Helicobacter pylori

ABSTRACT In this study, we evaluated the mutations of Helicobacter pylori associated with resistance to clarithromycin and levofloxacin. Furthermore, based on the proposed interaction between antimicrobial resistance and pathogenicity, we correlated the mutation profiles of the strains with the pres...
