Introduction. Biopsy of prostate is a routine urologic procedure. Nevertheless the frequency of infectious-inflammatory complications remain high, despite the recommended antibiotic prophylaxis schemes.Purpose. The evaluation of effectiveness and safety of combined antimicrobial prophylaxis: fosfomycin trometamol and fluoroquinolones of 3rd generation.Materials and methods. Our clinical study included 80 patients who underwent prostate biopsy were divided into 2 groups. The first group of 40 patients received routine prophylaxis: levofloxacin 500 mg 6 h before the biopsy and 500 mg per day during 4 days after biopsy. The second group of 40 patients, along with standard prophylaxis as in the first group, additionally after biopsy received fosfomycin trometamol 3 gr single-shot.Results. In the first group, infectious and inflammatory complications occurred in 8 (20 %) patients, 12.5 % of patients from the first group were hospitalized for parenteral antibiotic therapy. The average length of stay in hospital was 3.4 ± 1.45 days. In all cases, in the first group of patients, Escherichia coli was detected, in 70 % of cases fluoroquinolone-resistant strain of the bacterium was received. In the second group of patients no hospitalization was required. One (2.5 %) patient out of forty from this group showed signs of urinary tract infection, which was not accompanied by an increase of body temperature, as well as changes in blood and urine tests.Conclusions. Our results show good effectiveness and safety of combined antibiotic prophylaxis for transrectal prostate biopsy. Since fluoroquinolone resistance grows, it is necessary to introduce alternative schemes, as well as monitoring of nosocomial infection and controlling of antimicrobial therapy.

The rise of infectious complications after prostate biopsy has been linked to the growing resistance of enterobacteria to fluoroquinolone (FQ) antibiotics. In this review, we investigated the potential benefit of targeted antibiotic prophylaxis based on rectal cultures prior to prostate biopsy. An electronic search for all related literature published in English was performed from April until June 2015 using the MEDLINE and EMBASE databases. Data were obtained regarding the true prevalence of FQ-resistant bacteria in the rectum of patients, the identification of those patients at risk of harbouring FQ-resistant bacteria, the risk of infectious complications after transrectal prostate biopsy in patients with FQ-resistant bacteria, and the effect of targeted prophylaxis. Although there is limited evidence that a targeted approach might be beneficial, we conclude that current studies on the use of rectal cultures in the prebiopsy setting have too many limitations and confounding variables to definitely accept this approach in clinical practice. Whether this methodology is useful in a certain region will greatly depend on local fluoroquinolone-resistance rates.

Introduction. Amount of prostate biopsy procedures rises every year and up to 95% of cases of prostate biopsy is performed via transrectal approach. The incidence of infectious complications of transrectal prostate biopsy reaches up to 17%, while incidence of such complications of transperineal biopsy is about 1%. The majority of international clinical guidelines recommends for obligatory antibiotic prophylaxis prior to prostate biopsy of any approach, but the choice of antibiotic is still debatable. The aim of this review is to sum up the approaches of international urological guidelines to the antibiotic prophylaxis prior to prostate biopsy. Materials and methods. We analyzed the search results in the scientific databases PubMed, Google Scolar, elibrary.ru for the queries «prostate biopsy», «antibacterial prophylaxis» and «guidelines». Results. According to the recommendations of most professional communities, antibacterial prophylaxis of infectious complications of prostate biopsy can be carried out in various ways - once or for a long time, one- or two-component, empirically or on the basis of urine culture on microflora. Conclusion. Despite the differences in the levels of sensitivity and resistance of coliform flora around the world, the clinical guidelines in most countries are uniform in terms of the choice of drugs to reduce the risk of developing infectious complications after prostate biopsy. Approaches to antibacterial prophylaxis after prostate biopsy differ only depending on the type of biopsy access.

Abstract Background Transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy (TRUS-Bx) is considered an essential urological procedure for the histological diagnosis of prostate cancer. It is, however, considered a “contaminated” procedure which may lead to infectious complications. Recent studies suggest a significant share of fluoroquinolone-resistant rectal flora in post-biopsy infections. Methods The molecular mechanisms of fluoroquinolone resistance, including PMQR (plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance) as well as mutation in the QRDRs (quinolone-resistance determining regions) of gyrA, gyrB, parC and parE, among Enterobacterales isolated from 32 of 48 men undergoing a prostate biopsy between November 2015 and April 2016 were investigated. Before the TRUS-Bx procedure, all the patients received an oral antibiotic containing fluoroquinolones. Results In total, 41 Enterobacterales isolates were obtained from rectal swabs. The MIC of ciprofloxacin and the presence of common PMQR determinants were investigated in all the isolates. Nine (21.9%) isolates carried PMQR with qnrS as the only PMQR agent detected. DNA sequencing of the QRDRs in 18 Enterobacterales (E. coli n = 17 and E. cloacae n = 1) isolates with ciprofloxacin MIC ≥ 0.25 mg/l were performed. Substitutions in the following codons were found: GyrA—83 [Ser → Leu, Phe] and 87 [Asp → Asn]; GyrB codon—605 [Met → Leu], ParC codons—80 [Ser → Ile, Arg] and 84 [Glu → Gly, Met, Val, Lys], ParE codons—458 [Ser → Ala], 461 [Glu → Ala] and 512 [Ala → Thr]. Six isolates with ciprofloxacin MIC ≥ 2 mg/l had at least one mutation in GyrA together with qnrS. Conclusions This study provides information on the common presence of PMQRs among Enterobacterales isolates with ciprofloxacin MIC ≥ 0.25 mg/l, obtained from men undergoing TRUS-Bx. This fact may partially explain why some men develop post-TRUS-Bx infections despite ciprofloxacin prophylaxis.

Prostate biopsy is a current and well-codified procedure; antibiotic prophylaxis and rectal enema limit the risk of infection. To date, there has been no reported viral transmission between patients due to a contaminated ultrasound probe. In this study, we report the case of a patient who contracted the hepatitis C virus after transrectal prostate biopsy as part of an individual screening for prostate cancer.
