RESUMO

We report on the successful application of fluorescent in situ hybridization for detection of Helicobacter pylori and determination of its clarithromycin susceptibility in formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded gastric biopsy specimens that had been prepared for pathological examination. This method is useful when results from conventional culturing with antibiotic susceptibility testing are not available.
