The purpose of the study was to evaluate whether antibiotic prophylaxis with a single dose of prulifloxacin after tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) procedure decreases catheter-associated urinary tract infections (UTIs). Patients undergoing TVT procedure receiving a single dose of prulifloxacin (600 mg) 10 h before catheter removal (n=54) were compared with historical controls who have had no treatment (n=60). All patients had an indwelling urethral catheter in situ for 24 h. Urine specimens for culture were collected preoperatively, before Foley removal, and 7 days postoperatively in both groups. Main outcome measures were significant bacteriuria and symptomatic UTI at catheter removal and 1 week postoperatively. No patient had a positive urine culture in the prulifloxacin group compared with 14 (23.3%) in the control group at catheter removal (P=0.0001). Ten out of 14 (71.4%) women with a positive catheter urine culture had a symptomatic UTI. One week after surgery no difference was found in the rate of significant bacteriuria between groups. Our data suggest that a prophylactic single dose of prulifloxacin could help to reduce the rate of symptomatic and asymptomatic UTIs after short-term urethral catheterization in women undergoing TVT procedure.
