Abstract
Resistance to clarithromycin in H. pylori has emerged in a number of countries. We present the first documented case of H. pylori resistance to clarithromycin in Denmark. This follows an increase in the use of clarithromycin as part of the treatment of H. pylori in the most recent years in Denmark. The need for culturing and susceptibility testing in H. pylori is emphasized.
