H. pylori resistance to metronidazole ranges from 11% to 38%. However, when metronidazole is used in regimens with bismuth subsalicylate (BSS) or clarithromycin, they are often still highly effective even if H. pylori appears to be metronidazole resistant.11 Primary resistance of H. pylori to clarithromycin is low
