Analysis of antimicrobial resistance patterns and genetic mutations in Helicobacter pylori from West Bengal, India depicting escalating clarithromycin and high levofloxacin resistance
High clarithromycin, substantial metronidazole and levofloxacin resistance in H. pylori strains from WB underscore the urgent need to revise empirical treatment strategies. These findings advocate for localized, resistance-guided therapy protocols and reinforce the importance of continuous antimicrobial surveillance to optimize treatment outcomes and mitigate resistance development.
