Article Synopsis
  • Antibiotic resistance significantly affects the treatment success rates for Helicobacter pylori infections, with noted resistance levels in Europe.
  • A study analyzed 2,852 naive patients and found that the 3-in-1 single capsule with bismuth, metronidazole, and tetracycline, as well as a quadruple therapy with bismuth, had the highest effectiveness against H. pylori, even with existing resistances.
  • For non-naive patients, resistance was even higher, but the same 3-in-1 capsule and triple therapy with levofloxacin showed promising results, highlighting the need for effective treatment options based on resistance patterns.
