| | Retreatment decisions should be based upon positive symptoms and positive endoscopy or positive urea breath test. Retreatment should not be based on a positive serology test, as serology tests may remain positive indefinitely. An alternative antibiotic regimen is recommended when initial therapy fails due to concerns of antimicrobial resistance. |
