Chronic prostatitis is a common disorder sometimes caused by bacterial infection of the prostate. Documentation of such infection requires quantitative culture of carefully collected sequential urine and prostatic fluid specimens (bacterial localization cultures). However, culture of the midstream urine and prostatic fluid alone usually is sufficient to rule out this diagnostic possibility. A practical strategy for the bacteriologic investigation of chronic prostatitis that combines each of these maneuvers--midstream urine and prostatic fluid culture first, then subsequent bacterial localization cultures if pathogenic bacteria are isolated from the initial cultures--is outlined.
慢性前列腺炎是一种常见疾病，有时由前列腺细菌感染引起。此类感染的诊断需要对精心采集的连续尿液和前列腺液标本进行定量培养（细菌定位培养）。然而，仅对中段尿和前列腺液进行培养通常就足以排除这种诊断可能性。本文概述了一种慢性前列腺炎细菌学调查的实用策略，该策略结合了以下各项操作——首先进行中段尿和前列腺液培养，如果从初始培养物中分离出病原菌，则随后进行细菌定位培养。
