Antibiotic penetration in prostate: a small study
NCT ID NCT02041767
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 21 times
Summary
This study looked at how well the antibiotic ertapenem reaches prostate tissue after a single dose given before surgery. Twenty men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) scheduled for prostate surgery received the antibiotic, and researchers measured its concentration in the removed tissue. The goal was to see if enough antibiotic gets into the prostate to potentially prevent infections, but this study did not test treatment outcomes.
