title: [Meningitis caused by multiresistant E. coli after an echo-directed transrectal biopsy].
abstract: Transrectal prostate biopsy is the most accurate method for prostate cancer diagnosis. Although an antimicrobial prophylaxis is employed in most cases, infectious complications are among the most severe. We present a case of E. coli multirresistant meningitis after transrectal prostate biopsy despite quinolone prophylaxis.
