Key Points

The study aimed to analyze the antibiotic resistance genes and virulence factors of H pylori strains in Qinghai, China.
Cross-sectional study involving 151 patients in Qinghai province.
Patients underwent 13C-urea breath testing for H pylori infection.
Resistance to antibiotics including levofloxacin, clarithromycin, and amoxicillin was evaluated.
Overall antibiotic resistance rate in H pylori was 80.60%.
Resistance rates: clarithromycin 58.21%, levofloxacin 41.04%, amoxicillin 17.91%, tetracycline 14.18%.
