Use versus nonuse of antimicrobial prophylaxis prior to transperineal prostate biopsy: a propensity score-matched analysis
There was no significant difference in the rate of UTI based on the use or nonuse of AP prior to transperineal prostate biopsy. The overall incidence of UTI was very low regardless of the use of AP. Omission of AP prior to transperineal prostate biopsy might be possible, which would help promote antimicrobial stewardship.
