Helicobacter pylori is the main cause of gastrointestinal dis- orders, particularly pepticulcer, chronic gastritis, gastricadeno-carcinoma and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lym- phoma [1] . The prevalence of infection with H. pylori in Iran varies from 36% in Kurdistan to 90% in Ardabil [2] . Depending on resistance to clarithromycin, combined treatment regimens have been introduced in three categories as follows: (i) first-line therapy, comprising a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) plus two antibiotics such as amoxicillin and clarithromycin (in areas with low clarithromycin resistance); (ii) bismuth quadruple therapy, com- prising a PPI plus bismuth salt, tetracycline and metronidazole (in areas with high clarithromycin resistance); and (iii) non-bismuth quadruple therapy, comprising one PPI plus three antibiotics such as clarithromycin, amoxicillin, and metronidazole or tinidazole [3–5] . Nowadays, increasing antibiotic resistance as well as degrada- tion of antibiotics in the stomach are considered two major obstacles in eradicating H. pylori infection [3] . Excessive antibiotic resistance, especially to clarithromycin, leads to a reduction in treatment success with triple therapy regimens to ≤80% [ 6 , 7 ].
