Core Tip Transrectal biopsy of the prostate is generally considered a safe procedure used for obtaining tissue samples for the histological diagnosis of prostate carcinoma. However, in the last years we observed a higher rate of infective complications, ranging from asymptomatic bacteriuria to sepsis that continued to be the principal cause of hospital admission after procedure. The higher rate of sepsis could be due to the emerging resistance to fluorquinolones, in particular to ciprofloxacin. New strategies for antibacterial prophylaxis need to be purposed.
