Indonesia was reported have a low prevalence of <em>H. pylori</em> infection compared to other countries in Asia. Some studies in Indonesia have evaluated that poor sanitation, age, religion, ethnicity are the risk factors for <em>H. pylori</em> infection. Compared to other diagnostic tests, the urine test will be reliable for the detection of <em>H. pylori</em> in Indonesia because it is non-invasive and low cost with high accuracy. Although we have already performed studies on the prevalence of <em>H. pylori</em> infection in several ethnics, we still have some questions that remain unclear regarding <em>H. pylori</em> infection in Indonesia. Therefore, we have a need to build a <em>H. pylori</em> center that provide facilities for culturing, evaluating antibiotic resistance, and obtaining the genotype information that may explain the differences in <em>H. pylori</em> infection among ethnic groups in Indonesia.</p&gt;}, number={4}, journal={Medical Journal of Indonesia}, author={Syam, Ari F.}, year={2017}, month={Jan.}, pages={263-6} }
