AB resist.a major P: Bacterial resistance and adverse events occurrence are among most frequent causes for anti H.Pylori RX failure. Probiotic strains, such as S. boulardii, L. reuteri and L. GG, decrease gastrointestinal antibiotic associated adverse effects.and consequently also increase erradication rate. Beneficial effects of probiotics seem to be strain-specific and dose-dependent.
