Background Clarithromycin (Cla) heteroresistance of Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) infections is commonly assessed by comparing the resistance status of antrum and corpus biopsy samples and by demonstrating the discrepancy between them (interniche heteroresistance). However, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technique is capable of showing the synchronous presence of susceptible and resistant bacteria (intraniche heteroresistance), enabling the detection of heteroresistant H pylori populations within one biopsy sample. Materials and Methods Antrum and corpus biopsy specimens of 305 H pylori-infected patients were investigated with an rRNA-targeted Cla-resistance FISH test. Anamnestic data were collected from the institutional electronic register. Prevalence rates of susceptible, homo- and heteroresistant cases were correlated with the anamnestic and clinicopathological data. Results Overall Cla-resistance rate was 23.9% (73 cases), consisting of 35 (11.5%) homoresistant and 38 (12.5%) heteroresistant cases. Thirty-five patients had at least one biopsy site where susceptible and resistant bacteria were present simultaneously. From this subset, 20 cases demonstrated intraniche heteroresistance on both sites. Prior Cla-based eradication attempts were more frequent in homoresistant than in susceptible and heteroresistant cases (P < .001, P < .001, respectively). Cla-containing therapy eradicated heteroresistant infections at a significantly lower rate in comparison with susceptible cases (P = .0112), but more effectively than homoresistants (P = .0393). Conclusions The most frequent type of Cla-heteroresistance is the coexistence of susceptible and resistant H pylori bacteria in the same location (intraniche heteroresistance). A previous Cla-based eradication attempt predisposes patients to homoresistant infection. Heteroresistance is characterized by a non-eradication-related background and intermediate characteristics in many respects when compared to susceptible and homoresistant cases.
