Pylori?..2) ir there a corelation in the senstivity or they r independent of each other?? Thanx Doctor: normally if bacteria are resistent to antibiotic group it is resitant in all placesyou must have sensitivity report as there are resistant and sensitive salt list go for sensitive salts according to reports after consulting doctor
