Abstract

Recently the rate of successful H. pylod eradication while using existing treatment regimens continues to decline, primarily due to the appearance of antibiotic-resistant strains of the microorganism. Recent studies confirm the fact that the standard triple therapy becomes ineffective method of H. pylori eradication, due to the increase of drug-resistant strains of.H. pylon. H. pylori resistance level to antibacterial agents is not the same in different countries, as well as in certain regions within the same country. Thus, studing the regional features of H. pylori resistance to certain antibiotics with subsequent development of eradication regimens that are effective in particular region becomes extremely actual. Still bismuth containing quadruple therapy remains an effective method of H. pylori eradication, allowing to achieve good results. In recent years, several alternative schemes of H. pylori eradication were proposed, such as sequential, concomitant, hybrid therapy including three antimicrobial agents. Currently; these regimens allow to achieve quite high H. pyloneradication level.
