Systematic reviews and localized studies reveal rising resistance rates in pediatric H pylori infections, highlighting the need for improved diagnostics and treatment approaches.
RHB-105 (Talicia) is the only rifabutin-based therapy approved for the treatment of H pylori infection and is designed to address the high resistance of H pylori bacteria to current clarithromycin-based standard-of-care therapies.
Helicobacter pylori resistance to clarithromycin more than doubled during the past 20 years, according to new research presented at UEG Week Barcelona 2019.
In a recent study, researchers from several institutions found that individuals from North, Central, and South Americas may be at an increased risk of cancer due to Heliobacter pylori strains brought over to the "New World" with European explorers.
