“…The swabs were applied to MH agar with LVFX or STFX. The concentration of LVFX was 2 μg/mL according to the sensitivity defined by the CLSI and that of STFX was 1 μg/mL based on the sensitivity to ciprofloxacin defined by CLSI . If colonies developed, they were applied to MacConkey agar.…”

“…They also found that the independent risk factors for infection after prostate needle biopsy were diabetes, hospitalization during the preceding month, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and performance of the biopsy in 2010–2011 compared with 2002–2009. Infective complications after TRUS prostate biopsy were often severe, such as sepsis caused by ESBL‐producing E. coli , infective endocarditis and pyogenic spondylitis . Thus, infective complications should be avoided.…”

Objectives To evaluate a regimen of targeted prophylaxis using rectal swab culture in patients undergoing transrectal ultrasound‐guided prostate biopsy, and to investigate the characteristics of isolated fluoroquinolone‐resistant Escherichia coli. Methods A prospective study was carried out from June 2013 through December 2014. Rectal swabs were cultured on agar plates containing either 2 μg/mL levofloxacin or 1 μg/mL sitafloxacin before transrectal ultrasound‐guided prostate biopsy. Patients with susceptible organisms received levofloxacin or sitafloxacin, whereas those with resistant organisms received directed antimicrobial prophylaxis according to the results of the antimicrobial susceptibility test. Patients with infectious complications after prostate biopsy were identified, and characteristics of patients carrying fluoroquinolone‐resistant Escherichia coli were analyzed. Results A total of 397 men underwent transrectal ultrasound‐guided prostate biopsy. Of these patients, 74 (18.6%) had fluoroquinolone‐resistant Escherichia coli. All fluoroquinolone‐resistant Escherichia coli were susceptible to amikacin and meropenem. The risk factor for possible fluoroquinolone‐resistant Escherichia coli was age of ≥73 years. Three (0.7%) patients who received appropriate antimicrobial prophylaxis had high‐grade fever after the prostate biopsy. However, the pathogens were not fluoroquinolone‐resistant Escherichia coli. Conclusions Targeted antimicrobial prophylaxis in patients undergoing transrectal ultrasound‐guided prostate biopsy can be associated with reducing severe infectious complications caused by fluoroquinolone‐resistant Escherichia coli.

“…In a study of Hiyama et al [8], they reported a 59-year-old patient who underwent prostate biopsy because of high PSA values found in checkup without any symptoms. Aortic valve replacement was performed due to acute heart failure because of infective endocarditis and in this patient there was vegetation in echocardiography and positive blood cultures in which Enterococcus faecalis was responsible.…”

“…Failure to adhere to minimum infection control standards, including the proper cleaning and reprocessing of the equipment and transducers, increases the risk of pathogen transmission and subsequent infection. Lack of compliance with scientifically based guidelines for infection control has led to numerous outbreaks arising from ultrasound examinations, [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] including cases of infection resulting from ultrasound-guided procedures, 4,[11][12][13] and ultrasound transducers that have not undergone appropriate disinfection (Medical Device Alert Ref:…”

The Australasian Society for Ultrasound in Medicine (ASUM) is the leading multidisciplinary medical ultrasound society advancing the clinical practice of diagnostic medical ultrasound for the highest standards of patient care in Australia and New Zealand. The Australasian College for Infection Prevention and Control (ACIPC) is the peak body for Infection Prevention and Control professionals in the Australasian region focused on promoting education and evidence based practice outcomes for a healthy community. This document was developed collaboratively by ASUM and ACIPC to establish nationally accepted guidelines for reprocessing ultrasound transducers. The requirements in these guidelines have been based on the standards of AS/ NZS4187:2014 and AS/NZS4185:2006. 1 These guidelines must be used as the minimum standard of practice for reprocessing ultrasound transducers and considered to be best practice at the time which they were issued.
