Objective: Infection is one of the common complications of post-prostate biopsy. Therefore, prophylaxis with fluoroquinolones and/or cephalosporins is recommended. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria isolated from rectal swabs in candidates for transrectal ultrasound-guided (TRUS) biopsy. The possible patient's related risk factors attributing to resistance to antibiotics were also assessed. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 126 male patients who were candidates for TRUS biopsy. Rectal swabs were collected and the samples were transferred to the laboratory in Amies transport medium during 2 hours and cultured on MacConkey agar with ciprofloxacin 1 mg/L and ciprofloxacin-resistant strains were identified. Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method was used to determine the antibiotic susceptibility of the isolates. Results: In total, 59 bacterial isolates were obtained, which were Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, respectively, in terms of frequency. They showed the lowest resistance to levofloxacin. Smoking was associated with positive culture results. Age was a factor with a significant effect on carrying ciprofloxacin-resistant strains. Conclusion: Ciprofloxacin resistance was high in almost all strains, but post-biopsy infectious complications were very low. Level of evidence: Not applicable [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
