In this case series, 11 men with chronic bacterial prostatitis caused by multi-resistant E. coli were treated with once-daily ceftriaxone intravenously. Nine patients were clinically cured at 3 months follow up, suggesting that ceftriaxone can be considered an appropriate treatment option for chronic bacterial prostatitis.
Chronic bacterial prostatitis is increasingly difficult to treat due to rising antimicrobial resistance limiting oral treatment options. In this case series, 11 men with CBP (including patients with urological comorbidities) due to multi-resistant E. coli were treated with once-daily ceftriaxone intravenously for 6 weeks. Nine patients were clinically cured at 3 months follow up. No early withdrawal of medication due to side effects occurred. A literature review was conducted to describe the prostate pharmacokinetics of ceftriaxone and its use in prostatic infection. In conclusion, ceftriaxone can be considered an appropriate treatment of chronic bacterial prostatitis.
