Infectious complications in patients undergoing transrectal prostate-biopsy with ciprofloxacin compared to fosfomycin-trometamol

Compared with CIP, FMT prophylaxis is associated with a greater risk of infectious complications and should be used cautiously in routine clinical practice. Given the uncertainty of FMT's efficacy in preventing infections after TrBx, alternative antibiotic regimens should be preferred, or transitioning to the transperineal biopsy approach may further reduce infection risk and support antibiotic stewardship.
