PCR detection of H. pylori and associated antibiotic resistances
More than half of the world’s population has a Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection of the stomach. About 20 % of these patients are at risk of developing gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, or stomach cancer. PCR detection of H. pylori from biopsy material offers a rapid and highly sensitive method for diagnosing H. pylori infections. This technique not only detects the pathogen but also determines important antibiotic resistances, enabling optimal treatment by tailoring therapy to resistance patterns.
