** '''The most common drugs suggested for initial therapy are a combination of penicillin (i.e., ampicillin) and an aminoglycoside (i.e., gentamicin), second- or third-generation cephalosporins (i.e. ceftriaxone), or one of the fluoroquinolones.'''
* '''<span style="color:#ff0000">In patients with acute prostatitis with ESBL or suspected ESBL organisms (usually associated with transrectal prostate biopsies), treatment with a carbapenem (ertapenem, imipenem, or meropenem),</span>''' amikacin, or colistin '''for at least 10 to 14 days is recommended'''
*** This traditional approach has changed recently because of the increasing risk of post–prostate biopsy prostate infection with ESBL microorganisms
*** In acute bacterial prostatitis that result from previous manipulation of the lower urinary tract (including prostate biopsy), the organisms show different patterns of virulence and resistance (e.g., to quinolones and cephalosporins) compared with the organisms associated with spontaneous acute prostatitis

'''The duration of optimal therapy is unknown; <span style="color:#ff0000">between 2 and 4 weeks has been suggested</span>'''
