ABSTRACT = {Transrectal ultrasound guided biopsy (TRUSB) of the 
prostate directly contaminates the prostate with rectal 
flora. Patients commonly receive fluoroquinolone (FQ) 
antibiotics to prevent infection. Infectious complications 
following TRUSB are increasing. The most common 
offending organism is Escherichia coli (E. coli), with 
isolates of this bacteria showing growing resistance to 
FQs. We present to our knowledge the first reported case 
of seminal vesicle abscess formation after TRUSB. The 
abscess was initially not seen on computed tomography 
and eventually treated with percutaneous drainage by a 
transgluteal approach. We review literature on infectious 
complications following TRUSB with implications for 
future antibiotic prophylaxis.},
