Outcomes of Fecal Carriage of Extended-spectrum β-Lactamase After Transrectal Ultrasound-guided Biopsy of the Prostate

ESBL-PE carriage was associated with a high rate of post-biopsy UTI symptoms requiring further elucidation; however, it was not associated with microbiologically proven infections. FQ consumption before TRUSbx was also associated with post-biopsy infections.
