Abstract
Helicobacter pylori infection is a widespread worldwide infection that is the main cause of chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer disease. Accurate diagnosis is crucial for control and eradication of the infection. A greater need for effective management is looming due to increasing drug resistance. This review summarizes methods for H. pylori diagnostic testing and the algorithm for a clinically based diagnostic approach. In addition, cumulative antibiogram data are presented and demonstrate resistance patterns in the United States.
