Treatment Regimens for Helicobacter pylori Infection in Children: Is In Vitro Susceptibility Testing Helpful?

Abstract: There is a trend of greater efficacy of eradication with omeprazole + amoxicillin with metronidazole versus omeprazole + amoxicillin with clarithromycin therapy. Although resistance negatively influences eradication, first-line sensitivity-based treatment would be expected to improve this rate only slightly. Susceptibility testing should probably be reserved only for treatment failures.

“…There is very limited information on the impact of clarithromycin and metronidazole resistance on H. pylori eradication in children. We have identified few clinical trials over the last two decades which evaluate the clinical outcome of H. pylori triple therapies with respect to pre-treatment susceptibility testing to clarithromycin and metronidazole (16,19,(43)(44)(45)(46). Despite the very limited number and power of pediatric clinical trials including susceptibility testing, the effect of resistance on treatment outcome was more pronounced for clarithromycin than for metronidazole (Table II).…”

“…Many global studies have been published comparing the effectiveness of different regimens in the eradication of H. pylori [7][8][9][10][11]; however there are no data reporting the efficacy of our regimens in routine clinical practice. Considering the fact that H. pylori cure rates vary in different geographical regions because of differences in hosts as well as in H. pylori strains [7], we decided to carry out this study to evaluate the efficacy of the treatment regimens used in our clinics for eradication of H. pylori, in order to select a treatment regimen that is most effective with the least adverse effects and cost.…”
