A reference panel of H. pylori JSHR strains was established. The panel consisted of JSHR6, which was antibiotic-susceptible, JSHR3, which was CLR-resistant, and JSHR31, which was multi-resistant. This reference panel will be essential for standardized ASTs before the optimal drugs are selected for eradication treatment.
