Prospective Implementation of a Point-of-Care PCR-Based Detection Method to Guide Antibiotic Use Prior to Prostate Biopsy Compared to Targeted Prophylaxis and Physician Choice

摘要

OBJECTIVE To perform pilot testing regarding implementation of a point-of-care qPCR-based test (EST200) targeting bacterial clonal groups representing the majority of sepsis-causing Escherichia coli before prostate biopsy to determine antibiotic selection.
