Implication

Cross-sectional study identifies high antibiotic resistance among H. pylori strains in dyspeptic patients, suggesting urgent need for localized susceptibility testing.

Key Points

This research aims to determine antibiotic resistance patterns of H. pylori in dyspeptic patients in Iran.
Conducted a cross-sectional study in gastroenterology clinics in Lorestan, Iran.
Isolated H. pylori strains from gastric biopsy specimens of 260 patients.
Utilized antibiotic disc diffusion and E-test methods to assess susceptibility and resistance rates.
187 out of 260 biopsy samples tested positive for H. pylori (72%).
High resistance rates were found for metronidazole (87.7%), clarithromycin (63.1%), amoxicillin (39%), and tetracycline (34.2%).
Resistance to amoxicillin and tetracycline was particularly concerning among the isolated strains.
