Brief summary

1. Back ground Antibiotics resistance of Helicobacter pylori, especially to clarithromycin is one of the main causes of failure of eradication. 23S rRNA point mutation of Helicobacter pylori is associated clarithromycin resistance 2. Hypothesis If the investigators check the 23S rRNA point mutation then choose treatment regimens containing a proton pump inhibitor and combination of two antibiotics (amoxicillin and clarithromycin or metronidazole), the investigators will eradicate Helicoabacter pylori more successfully 3. Material & methods The investigators enroll patients diagnosed with peptic ulcer, endoscopically. Helicobacter pylori is documented with Urea breath test or silver staining biopsy specimen or polymerase chain reaction of biopsy specimen. Check the 23S rRNA A2142G/A2143G point mutation by polymerase chain reaction. If there is mutation, the investigators consider as resistance to clarithromycin and choose the treatment regimen containing a proton pump inhibitor, amoxicillin, metronidazole. If there is no mutation, choose the treatment regimen containing a proton pump inhibitor, amoxicillin, clarithromycin. Verify Helicobacter pylori eradication by urea breath test. Compare eradication rate with conventional treatment,proton pump inhibitor, amoxicillin, clarithromycin.

Helicobacter Pylori Eradication Rate

Eradication was determined by the C13-urea breath test 6 to 8 weeks after the eradication therapy when PPIs had not been used for at least 2 weeks.

Time frame: 8 weeks

Population: Each convential AOC, AOM group : 308 patients Mutation test gorup : H. pylori was not detected by PCR 90 patient , total 218 patient predicted prevalence - 50%, expected dropout rate -15%, predicted eradication rate - 80%, significance level - 0.05, statistical power - 90%
