Based on the publications reviewed above we consider that antimicrobial susceptibility testing has limitations, especially in terms of cost and availability. Many hospitals, and even some countries, do not have facilities to culture H. pylori. Variable rates of success of obtaining H. pylori from gastric samples, plus the necessity of performing an endoscopy to obtain samples from the stomach are additional limits.
Con base en las publicaciones discutidas previamente, consideramos que las pruebas de susceptibilidad antimicrobiana tienen algunas limitaciones, como son el costo, no ampliamente disponibles en todos los hospitales e incluso países, tasas de éxito variables para recuperar H. pylori de las muestras gástricas y necesidad de endoscopia para tomar las muestras del estómago.
