It can survive at pH levels between 4.0 and 8.0, but it can synthesize proteins only when pH levels are between 6.0 and 8.0. Consequently it can not multiply at pH levels between 4.0 and 6.O, and thus is not susceptible to antibiotics such as amoxicillin and clarithromycin which can not affect the bacteria unless it is multiplying 20.
Su sobrevida se mantiene en pH entre 4,0 y 8,0, su síntesis proteica a pH entre 6,0 y 8,0 y no se multiplica en pH entre 4,0 y 6,0, y de esta manera, no sería susceptible a antibióticos como claritromicina o amoxicilina, que para ejercer su efecto, necesitan que la bacteria se replique 20.
