It typically manifests in adult men as acute bacterial prostatitis—marked by sudden fevers, chills, perineal pain, and acute urinary retention—or as chronic bacterial prostatitis characterized by relapsing, indolent pelvic discomfort and recurrent urinary tract infections Pathophysiologically, enterococci ascend through the urethra into the prostatic parenchyma, where biofilm formation, intrinsic bacterial tolerances, and poor drug penetration into prostatic tissue can lead to persistent or reca...
