We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of antibiotic treatment in association with a specific probiotic supplementation. All patients received antibiotic treatment with fluoroquinolones. In total, 84 patients received a commercial association of Enterococcus faecium and Saccharomyces boulardii during antibiotic treatment, followed by treatment with Lactobacilli.
After the treatment, a complete microbiological analysis was repeated. After the treatment was performed, a complete eradication with negative semen culture and microbiological analysis on prostatic secretion was observed in 64 of 84 patients Persistent infections have been observed only in patients with infections due to Enterococcus faecalis and Escherichia coli.
This study represents the first approach demonstrating the efficacy of a specific probiotic treatment in reducing the rate of persistent infections in patients with MAGI. It is defined as a syndrome characterized by symptoms of inflammation of the prostate, seminal vesicles, ductus deferens, and epididymis.
Seminal microbiological results permit to classify this clinical entity into bacterial and abacterial forms Krause, Male tract infections may be often asymptomatic.
