The present manuscript focuses on the new information that was published in the field of diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori this past year. While there is little news about the invasive tests, more data are coming concerning the endoscopic features of H . pylori infection. Major efforts were also done to improve molecular detection of the mutations involved in antibiotic resistance. New antibody‐based tests (stool antigen test or indirect antibody tests) were also developed.
