Prophylactic immunization with antipseudomonas vaccine (PSAEVA) significantly reduced Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in prostate adenoma surgery patients. The vaccine lowered infection rates by over 10% compared to controls.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Urological departments experience high rates of nosocomial infections.
  • Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common causative agent of these infections.
  • Prostate adenoma surgery patients are at risk for post-operative infections.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of prophylactic immunization with an antipseudomonas vaccine (PSAEVA).
  • To compare the incidence of Pseudomonas infections in immunized versus non-immunized patients undergoing prostate adenoma surgery.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study involving 58 patients indicated for prostate adenoma surgery.
  • Prophylactic immunization with PSAEVA was administered to the study group.
  • Infection rates were monitored during and after surgery in both immunized and control groups.

Main Results:

  • The incidence of post-operative Pseudomonas infection was 1.72% in the immunized group.
  • The incidence of post-operative Pseudomonas infection was 12% in the control group.
  • A statistically significant reduction (10.28%) in Pseudomonas infections was observed in the PSAEVA-immunized group (p<0.05).

Conclusions:

  • Prophylactic immunization with PSAEVA is effective in reducing Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in patients undergoing prostate adenoma surgery.
  • Antipseudomonas vaccination represents a viable strategy to decrease nosocomial infections in urological surgery.
