Abstract

The results of this study demonstrate the lower incidence of posttransurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) urinary tract infection (UTI) among patients receiving appropriate antibiotic prophylaxis (AAP) versus inappropriate antibiotic prophylaxis (27% vs 47%; P < .001). Preoperative urine culture procurement and APP are critical for post-TURP UTI prevention in the era of antibiotic resistance.
