Helicobacter pylori was isolated with BioSherpa™ STS without the need for stringent transport and handling.
Helicobacter pylori was isolated from a gastric sample using BioSherpa™ STS.
This organism is notoriously difficult to isolate in culture and requires stringent transport conditions. BioSherpa™ STS facilitates the culture of this organism without complex and expensive transport and handling.
H. pylori is being treated empirically because of the complexities of collection and culture despite a 20-30% antibiotic resistance rate.
BioSherpa™ STS supports uncomplicated culture, transport and handling from endoscopic samples, allowing for antibiotic susceptibility testing and better care.
