Summary
The aim of the study is to evaluate whether changing antibiotic prophylaxis from
fluoroquinolones alone to fluoroquinolones plus gentamicin 160mg single IM dose or targeted
antibiotic prophylaxis according to rectal swab culture would influence infectious
complication rates in those men undergoing transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy.
