Incidence of Urinary Tract Infection Following Transrectal Ultrasound Guided Prostate Biopsy at a Tertiary-Care Medical Center in Lebanon

Abstract

TRUBP continues to be associated with significant infectious complications, especially UTI. Given the increasing incidence of antibiotic resistance mainly among the Enterobacteriaceae, antimicrobial prophylaxis practices should be reevaluated and the universal administration of quinolones alone or in combination with aminoglycosides should be reconsidered.
