Özet
Aims: We used faecal culture to determine the prevalence of fluoroquinolone-resistant Escherichia coli in the intestinal flora of patients undergoing prostate biopsies. We sought to use faecal culture results to choose appropriate prophylaxis prior to prostate biopsy. In addition, we identified fluoroquinolone-resistant E. coli strains in faecal cultures, and the sensitivities thereof to other drugs that could be used for prophylaxis.
