ABSTRACT
Antimicrobial resistance in Helicobacter pylori has reached alarming levels and is compromising traditional empiric treatment of H. pylori. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing is routinely performed for infectious diseases when there is a risk of resistance and is now recommended to guide therapy for H. pylori. This mini-review overviews the current diagnostics for H. pylori with a focus on tests that enable susceptibility-guided treatment, including molecular tests performed directly on stool and endoscopically collected specimens.
