Bacterial prostatitis requires the application of an accurate diagnostic protocol to identify the causative agent and establish the optimal antimicrobial treatment. The structural and biochemical characteristics of prostatic tissue result in poor penetration of antimicrobials; therefore, in the choice of treatment, it is essential to select agents with proven antimicrobial activity and pharmacokinetic characteristics that ensure good and sustained concentrations in this area. Patients with chronic forms of infection require prolonged treatment, and relapses of the infectious process are frequent.
