Core Tip

Core tip: Due to the increasing prevalence of clarithromycin resistance, future of management of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infections need to be rewritten. To now, clarithromycin was the best tolerated and safe antibiotic used in treatment of the bacterium, but, increasing trend of resistance reduced efficacy of therapeutic regimens recommended. In this paper, we discussed that why persistence of gastroenterologists is a critical item need to be considered if we really aim to increase efficacy of prescribed antibiotics against H. pylori.
