Core Tip	We have presented different surveys showing the resistance of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) to furazolidone from Asia and South America. The resistance rates varied but were mostly low (<5%). H. pylori mutations occurring in the oorD gene, including A041G, A122G, C349A(G), A78G, A112G, A335G, C156T and C165T, and in the porD gene, including G353A, A356G, C357T, C347T, C347G and C346A, have been indicated to be possibly related to the observed resistance. Regarding levofloxacin resistance, compound mutations of N87A, A88N and V65I at codon Asn-87 were recently observed in the gyrA gene for the first time.
