Introduction Infections of the urinary tract (UTIs) pose a serious health problem for patients at high cost for society. UTIs are also the most frequent healthcare associated infections. E. coli is the predominating pathogen in uncomplicated UTIs while other Enterobacteriaceae and Enterococcus spp are isolated in higher frequency in patients with urological diseases. The present state of microbial resistance development is alarming and the rates of resistance are related to the amount of antibiotics used in the different countries. Particularly worrisome is the increasing resistance to broad spectrum antibiotics. It is thus essential to limit the use of antibiotics in general and fluoroquinolones and cephalosporins in particular, especially in uncomplicated infections and asymptomatic bacteriuria.

Safety and morbidity of first and repeat transrectal ultrasound guided prostate needle biopsies: results of a prospective european prostate cancer detection study

Risks and complications of transrectal ultrasound guided prostate needle biopsy: a prospective study and review of the literature

Summary— Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) is becoming more widely used as a method of investigating prostatic disease. This study investigated the acceptance of this technique in 89 patients undergoing evaluation for suspected malignant disease. The true morbidity associated with TRUS and TRUS-guided biopsy was evaluated. Serious complications were rare, but minor complications were frequent. Careful counselling is recommended prior to the procedure in order to minimise the patients' anxiety and ensure that if complications do occur they are dealt with swiftly and appropriately.
