It primarily affects adult males, particularly those with predisposing factors such as diabetes mellitus, urinary tract catheterization, instrumentation, or bladder outlet obstruction

It primarily affects adult males, particularly those with predisposing factors such as diabetes mellitus, urinary tract catheterization, instrumentation, or bladder outlet obstruction Severe or hypervirulent strains may progress to prostatic abscesses or hematogenous dissemination

Pathophysiologically, the bacteria ascend through the urethra or enter via intraprostatic urinary reflux, leading to severe localized glandular inflammation, tissue edema, and potential microabscess formation
