High Helicobacter pylori Resistance to Metronidazole and Clarithromycin in Brazilian Children and Adolescents

Abstract: The high resistance rate to metronidazole and clarithromycin observed in clinical H pylori isolates can exclude these antimicrobials in empirical eradication treatment in Brazil. Otherwise, furazolidone and tetracycline presented no resistance. Properly assessing the risks and benefits, these 2 antimicrobials and their derivatives could be used in empirical eradication schedules, both associated with amoxicillin, which showed a low resistance rate despite its wide use in pediatric patients.

“…In some countries, antimicrobial resistance has evolved with the use of antibacterial agents3,16). Table 1 shows recent the rates of H. pylori resistance to antimicrobials that are commonly administered to children in 10 countries17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27). The E-test has been established as a reliable modality for measuring antibiotic resistance to all antimicrobials, except for metronidazole for which it overestimates resistance.…”

“…All of tested H. pylori strains were susceptible to furazolidone and tetracycline. They conclude that the high resistance rate to metronidazole and clarithromycin could exclude them to empirical eradication treatment and otherwise there is no resistance to furazolidone and tetracycline, so we need to think about risks and benefits of using these drugs [8].…”

“…This drug present low bacterial resistance and it is effective against the strains of H. pylori and have a reduced cost [2,[7][8][9]. In 2002, Eisig et al [7] proposed a 7-day treatment based on furazolidone and tetracycline combined to a pump inhibitor (Omeprazole) in patients that had been previously treated.…”

“…Treatment of H. pylori infections consists of combination therapy involving two or three antibiotics, plus a proton pump inhibitor (2)(3)(4). However, the rate of unsuccessful eradication due to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains is growing (5,6). Furthermore, in regions with high rates of H. pylori infection, recurrent infection is more frequent (7).…”
