Routine antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) of Helicobacter pylori by agar dilution is difficult to perform and not practical in most clinical microbiology laboratories. The Etest gradient diffusion method can be a reliable alternative for H. pylori AST with the advantage of being a less laborious quantitative method. This work reveals that an optimized Etest method can provide acceptable performance for H. pylori AST and describes the challenges associated with this methodology.
