Abstract
Phenotypic susceptibility testing for clarithromycin by E-test and disk dif fusion of 109 cultured Helicobacter pylori isolates was compared with the g enotypic susceptibility determination by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). No discrepancies were found between these three methods. However, F ISH has the advantage of providing results after 3 h.
