Rapid Detection of Clarithromycin-Resistant Helicobacter Pylori in Patients with Dyspepsia by Fluorescent in Situ Hybridization (FISH) Compared with the E-Test

CONCLUSION: FISH is a rapid technique for detection of H. pylori in clinical samples. Moreover, strains susceptible to clarithromycin can be detected quickly. Therefore, this method is suitable for determination of susceptibility of H. pylori to clarithromycin, especially when a quick decision is necessary for treating dyspeptic patients.
