Cephalosporin antibiotics are used to treat bacterial prostatitis, and cephalosporins are not effective in chronic nonbacterial prostatitis. Prostatitis includes acute bacterial prostatitis, chronic bacterial prostatitis and chronic non-bacterial prostatitis. Acute bacterial prostatitis is caused by gram-negative bacilli such as Escherichia coli, staphylococcus, or pseudomonas infections, and cephalosporin antibiotics such as ceftazidime are effective. Chronic bacterial prostatitis is also mostly caused by Escherichia coli, Aspergillus, Klebsiella and other infections, cephalosporin antibiotics are effective against the above pathogens, but the lipid-like membrane of the prostate gland epithelium is the barrier for some of the antibiotics to enter the prostate follicles, and the treatment of prostatitis is often ineffective and difficult to cure. Most of the chronic prostatitis belongs to the chronic non-bacterial prostatitis, this kind of prostatitis pathogenic bacteria on the unclear, may be mycoplasma, chlamydia, fungi, viruses and other infections lead to. The actual antibiotics are usually erythromycin, metronidazole, and other antibiotics that cover the above pathogens, and cephalosporins are difficult to treat infections caused by the above pathogens. It is recommended that patients suffering from prostatitis consult a doctor in a timely manner and choose the appropriate medication according to the type of prostatitis.
