Rectal Culture-Guided Targeted Antimicrobial Prophylaxis Reduces the Incidence of Post-Operative Infectious Complications in Men at High Risk for Infections Submitted to Transrectal Ultrasound Prostate Biopsy - Results of a Cross-Sectional Study.

One study looking at this issue found no differences between men treated with TAP and those treated with EAP [ 18 ], others have shown that TAP results in fewer infectious complications than EAP yet with differences that failed to reach significance [ 22 – 24 ], while yet others [ 17 , 25 ] did find significant differences in the incidence of PTICs between men receiving TAP and patients treated with EAP prior to biopsy.
