AB  - While there are some attempts to improve culture of Helicobacter pylori, 
      molecular methods have been the main focus of this interest. Their main 
      application concerns the development of rapid tests also allowing the 
      determination of bacterial resistance, i.e. real-time polymerase chain reaction 
      (PCR) or fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), or to genotype the strains. 
      Attempts to improve, simplify or explain the discrepancies of urea breath test 
      results have been made and new generation of stool antigen test with monoclonal 
      antibodies either using the standard ELISA format or rapid immunoenzymatic 
      detection have confirmed their value. With regard to serology, studies have 
      mainly focused on the distinction of infections with more pathogenic strains and 
      the ability to diagnose atrophic gastritis with the Gastropanel.
