Transrectal ultrasound guided biopsy of the prostate remains the gold standard investigation to diagnose prostate cancer. Although post-biopsy complications are relatively rare, the risk of sepsis associated with the procedure means that prophylactic antibiotics are paramount. The most widely used antibiotic regimen includes a quinolone, such as ciprofloxacin. Resistance to quinolone antibiotics is rising. In this small pilot study, the incidence of quinolone resistance was 18% in our population of patients attending the prostate biopsy clinic.
经直肠超声引导下前列腺穿刺活检仍是诊断前列腺癌的金标准检查方法。尽管活检后并发症相对少见，但该操作相关的败血症风险意味着预防性使用抗生素至关重要。最常用的抗生素方案包括喹诺酮类药物，如环丙沙星。对喹诺酮类抗生素的耐药性正在上升。在这项小型试点研究中，在我们前列腺活检门诊的患者群体中，喹诺酮耐药的发生率为18%。
