Core Tip Antibiotic resistance significantly impacts the treatment failure rates of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infections. We analyzed the trends in single and dual resistance profiles of H. pylori treatment-naive Taiwanese between January 2019 and December 2024. Primary antibiotic resistance to tetracycline in H. pylori has increased in Taiwan from 2019 to 2024, while resistance to metronidazole have decreased during the same period. Additionally, the dual resistance to clarithromycin plus tetracycline and metronidazole plus tetracycline both increased significantly. These changes carry major clinical implications: It threatens the efficacy of bismuth-based quadruple therapy and limit the treatment options.
