Since high-level tetracycline resistance in Helicobacter pylori has been associated with a AGA926-928-->TTC substitution in the 16S rRNA genes rrnA/B, the aim of the study was to screen for tetracycline resistance in H. pylori clinical isolates obtained from Santiago, Chile by using a recently reported molecular assay.
