RESUMO
Clarithromycin and metronidazole resistance was 29.1 and 23.9%, respectively, in 96 Helicobacter pylori strains obtained from pediatric patients. No resistance to amoxicillin was observed. Resistance according to patients' ages to clarithromycin and metronidazole was 45.4 and 18.2% in 22 patients from 4 to 8 years old, 30.2 and 20.7% in 53 patients from 9 to 13 years old, and 9.5 and 38.1% in 21 patients from 14 to 18 years old, respectively. The A2143G mutation was the most prevalent (82.1%) among clarithromycin-resistant strains.
