Occurrence of Resistance Mutation and Clonal Expansion in Helicobacter pylori Multiple-Strain Infection: A Potential Risk in Clarithromycin-Based Therapy

In a previous study, a patient was shown by means of DNA fingerprinting to be infected with different Helicobacter pylori strains before and after clarithromycin treatment. The strain isolated before treatment was susceptible (ClaS), whereas the strain isolated after 3 months of treatment was resist...
