| Core Tip |
In Bhutan, 82.9% of Helicobacter pylori isolates showed metronidazole resistance. Of these, 80.4% showed high-level resistance (minimum inhibitory concentration ≥ 256 ?g/mL). Only 2.7% strains showed levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin resistance. Intriguingly, none of them were resistance to clarithromycin, amoxicillin, and tetracycline. |
