Core Tip	According to region, antibiotic resistance is mostly detected by culture of endoscopic biopsy. The study aimed to detect genotypic clarithromycin resistance by string tests. Amplified 23S rRNA from strings was digested by restriction enzymes to discriminate A2142G or A2143G mutations conferring clarithromycin resistance. Culture was also done to compare genotypic and phenotypic resistance. Sensitivity and specificity of the method were 66.7% and 97.3%, respectively. Positive and negative predictive values were 80% and 94.7%, respectively. Our study demonstrates that the string test, rather than endoscopic biopsy culture, could provide an option for molecular analysis in future.
