Concordance in the detection of Helicobacter pylori and antibiotic resistance-mediating mutations between results obtained using biopsies vs stool samples from individual Campylobacter-like organisms-positive endoscopy patients
| Biopsy Specimens | Stool specimens | Concordance | |
| Total analysed | n = 20 | n = 20 | |
| H. pylori DNA positive | 95% (n =19/20) | 90% (n = 18/20) | 85% (n = 17/20) |
| Clarithromycin resistant1 | 52.9% (n = 9/17) | 100.0% (n = 17/17) | 52.9% (n = 9/17) |
| Fluoroquinolone resistant1 | 23.5% (n = 4/17) | 52.9% (n = 9/17) | 35.3% (n = 6/17) |

Only samples where H. pylori DNA was detected were analysed. H. pylori: Helicobacter pylori.
