The Stamey-Meares fractional culture is essential for diagnosing chronic prostatitis (CP). This study highlights its indispensability, even with multi-resistant bacteria, and explores effective management strategies, including myorelaxants for symptom resolution.

Area of Science:

Urology
Microbiology

Context:

Chronic prostatitis (CP) presents diagnostic and management challenges.
Distinguishing between bacterial chronic prostatitis (BCP) and non-bacterial chronic prostatitis (NBCP) is crucial.

Purpose:

To evaluate the diagnostic utility of the Stamey-Meares fractional culture in 34 patients with chronic prostatitis.
To analyze the correlation between antibiogram findings and seminoculture results.

Summary:

The Stamey-Meares fractional culture proved indispensable for diagnosing CP.
Multiresistance in antibiograms and lack of correlation with seminoculture underscore its value.
The study discusses the significance of organisms with unproven pathogenicity and proposes rational management strategies.
