“…After prostate biopsy, the infection rate is 2-3%, but positive culture for FREc in these patients is 55% [16] . In other studies, FREc is 100% positive in cultures and 55.6% of them are positive for extended-spectrum lactamases [19] . Recently, Lange et al [20] reported an incidence of 96% FREc with post-biopsy sepsis.…”

“…Positive urine culture rates for FREc were similar to the results of previous studies [16] . Increasing resistance rates to fluoroquinolones in E. coli is a serious problem and fluoroquinolone-resistant infections after TRUSBP are increasing [9,19,21] . None of the patients receiving fosfomycin prophylaxis had a positive urine culture for FREc.…”

“…Loeb and colleagues [9] reported that 1.1% of 17,472 patients underwent prostate biopsy required hospitalization for infection-related complications and they also reported the increase in infectious complications after prostate biopsy in recent years while the rate of serious noninfectious complications is relatively stable. A number of studies have identified potential risk factors for infectious complications of post-prostate biopsy The most common of these risk factors appears to be exposure to antimicrobials within 6 months prior to biopsy [11], presence of fluoroquinolone resistant E. coli strains in fecal flora [12] and recent international travel [13]. The fluoroquinolone-resistance rate in E.coli-associated urinary tract infections has been reported to be about 10% [14].…”

“…Exposure to antimicrobial agents in the 6 months prior to biopsy has been identified in several studies as a risk factor for infection (23)(24)(25). Increased risk has also been seen in hospital employees and their family members and people who have traveled internationally (24,(26)(27)(28).…”
