Retrospective, single center evaluation of transperineal prostate biopsy omitting antibiotic prophylaxis and omitting periinterventional screening for bacteriuria

This study supports the relative safety of omitting antibiotic prophylaxis in transperineal prostate biopsies, showcasing a minimal infectious complication rate. The findings contribute to the ongoing discourse on antibiotic stewardship, emphasizing the need for judicious use to mitigate resistance, avoid allergic side effects and decrease the labor and material costs associated with transperineal prostate biopsy.
