Fluoroquinolone-resistant Helicobacter pylori emerged in 1995 and the resistance was due to point mutation in the gyrA gene. In this study we investigate the resistance mechanism and the antimicrobial susceptibilities of clarithromycin, metronidazole, amoxicillin, tetracycline and telithromycin against levofloxacin-resistant H. pylori in Hong Kong.
