Core Tip	This study evaluated the in vitro effect of amoxicillin and clarithromycin on the cag pathogenicity island (cag PAI). It was found that the effect of antibiotic pressure does not induce loss of cag PAI, but it can lead - in most cases - to genetic rearrangements (loss or gain of Glu-Pro-Ile-Tyr-Ala motif) within the 3’ region of cagA gene of the founding bacteria that can affect the level of tyrosine phosphorylation impacting on its cellular effects and lead to divergence of cagA-positive subclones, which as a set could alter the pathogenic process of Helicobacter pylori in cases with treatment failure.
