Tracking antibiotic resistance in H. pylori infections in Korea
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how resistant H. pylori (a stomach germ) is to different antibiotics in Korea. It uses stomach endoscopy samples to test which antibiotics may or may not work, helping guide future treatment choices.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a confirmed H. pylori infection.
- You must agree to undergo an endoscopy and provide a sample for lab testing.
- Your sample will be used to measure how sensitive H. pylori is to antibiotics (minimum inhibitory concentration).
- You should not be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You should not have taken antibiotics, proton pump inhibitors (acid blockers), or bismuth salts in the last 4 weeks.

This study is testing whether giving H. pylori treatment based on the specific bacteria found in your stomach works better than the standard one-size-fits-all approach. If you are already getting an endoscopy with a biopsy, this trial could help find the most effective medication for your infection.
This study looks at how common a stomach bacteria infection is and which antibiotics still work. You may help researchers by providing consent for related study participation and sample tracking.
This study compares two ways to treat Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection that didn’t go away with prior therapy. One approach uses test results to guide which medicines to use, and the other uses standard (“empiric”) treatment. The goal is to see which works better and more safely as a rescue plan.
This study looks at how stomach bacteria (Helicobacter pylori) interact with the normal microbes in your gut. You may be asked to provide tissue, stool, and blood samples to help researchers understand infection and the body’s response.
This study tests a new way to choose antibiotics for H. pylori infection when the usual treatment has failed. By looking at your stool sample, doctors can pick the medicine most likely to work for you.
This study tests whether adding a probiotic (a healthy bacteria supplement) to the standard four-drug treatment for H. pylori infection helps get rid of the bacteria better and with fewer side effects. It may help make your treatment more effective and easier to tolerate.
