Fluoroquinolone-resistant Escherichia coli among the rectal flora is the predominant risk factor for severe infection after transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy: a prospective observational study
CONCLUSION: The predominant risk factor for UTI with SIRS after TRUS-Bx was FQ-R E. coli among the faecal flora. The difficulty in identifying this type of risk factor demonstrates a need for studies on the development of a general approach either with rectal swab culture for targeted prophylaxis, or prior rectal preparation with a bactericidal agent such as povidone-iodine before TRUS-Bx to reduce the risk of FQ-R E. coli-related infection.PMID:37553957 | DOI:10.2340/sju.v58.11920 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Urology)
