Characterization using ultra-deep sequencing of the intra-host distribution of the mutations associated with H. pylori antibiotic resistance
This first study using in-house high-throughput sequencing of H. pylori on clinical biopsies from the same patients reinforces the hypothesis that the bacterial population within the same host is heterogeneous. The presence of minority variants justifies the need for at least two biopsies to ensure robust testing of the H. pylori antibiotic susceptibility profile.
