Abstract:
The resistance rate of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) to antimicrobial drugs increases year by year, which is the key factor for the decreased Hp eradication rate. Formulating an empirical regimen for Hp eradication based on an understanding of the dynamic epidemiology of antimicrobial resistance of Hp in the region will improve the eradication rate of Hp efficiently. The resistance rates of Hp to antimicrobial drugs are diversified in different geographic regions, population and time. This article reviewed the resistance rates of Hp to seven currently most frequently used antimicrobial drugs.
