Scientists track antibiotic journey into prostate
NCT ID NCT02041767
Summary
This study aimed to understand if a single dose of the antibiotic ertapenem reaches the prostate in high enough amounts to fight bacteria. Researchers measured drug levels in prostate tissue from 20 men undergoing surgery for enlarged prostate, comparing doses given 1 hour versus 12 hours before the procedure. The goal was to gather knowledge about how well this antibiotic penetrates prostate tissue to inform future infection prevention strategies.
