Abstract
Conclusions Our results are consistent with the ascending route of infection in acute bacterial prostatitis. However, causative E. coli might possibly originate from either intestinal reservoir of the host or household member. Owing to limitations of the cross-sectional design of this study, longitudinal studies are necessary to establish the ascending route of infection in this disease.
