Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test, Eradication, Helicobacter Pylori, Therapeutic Duration
Conditions
Brief summary
Strongly evidence supports that H. pylori eradication is an effective approach to reduce the incidence of those pathologies. However, due to the increasing resistance rates to antibiotics, failures of H. pylori eradication get more and more common. Thus, rescue therapy for persistent H. pylori infection is becoming a grand challenge the investigators have to face.
Interventions
Patients in this group will receive a 7-day triple regimen to eradicate H. pylori. The regimen is consist of a PPI and 2 susceptible antibiotics which are determined by AST. The susceptibility of amoxicillin, clarithromycin, metronidazole, tinidazole,levofloxacin, furazolidone and tetracycline will be evaluated.
Patients in this group will receive a 10-day triple regimen to eradicate H. pylori. The regimen is consist of a PPI and 2 susceptible antibiotics which are determined by AST. The susceptibility of amoxicillin, clarithromycin, metronidazole, tinidazole,levofloxacin, furazolidone and tetracycline will be evaluated.
Patients in this group will receive a 14-day triple regimen to eradicate H. pylori. The regimen is consist of a PPI and 2 susceptible antibiotics which are determined by AST. The susceptibility of amoxicillin, clarithromycin, metronidazole, tinidazole,levofloxacin, furazolidone and tetracycline will be evaluated.
