MP77-01 Individual, DNA-Guided, Antibacterial Prophylaxis Prior to Transrectal Prostate Biopsy Based on Results of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) of Rectal Swabs is a Promising Targeted Approach to Prevent Severe Urinary Tract Infection

Journal of Urology Vol. 201, No. 4S

Article: NGS allows a comprehensive analysis of the genomic profile of rectal microbiota and, most importantly, the identification of resistance genes to the standard antibacterial empiric prophylaxis. The aim of our pilot study was to evaluate NGS of rectal swabs in patients before transrectal biopsy of the prostate, seeking to prevent urinary tract infection (UTI). Read Article
