A member asked:

After failing first h. pylori treatment, does the bacteria become stronger and more difficult to eradicate due to the treatment? worst symptoms too?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

H. pylori : At this time, H. pylori does not appear to develop resistance following ineffective treatment. It can be a bit difficult to predict which specific combination of medications will work best for each person. I hope the next treatment works better for you.
