title: Antimicrobial susceptibilities of Helicobacter pylori isolates under microaerophilic atmospheres established by two different methods.
abstract: The MICs of clarithromycin, amoxicillin, and metronidazole for 150 Helicobacter pylori isolates were determined using the AnaeroPack system and were compared with those determined using a microaerophilic incubator. The MICs of clarithromycin, amoxicillin, and metronidazole determined under both microaerophilic atmospheres were mostly within one twofold dilution for 146 (97.3%), 150 (100%), and 149 (99.3%) of the isolates, respectively.
