    Objectives: To systematize and analyze evidence on the efficacy of using antibiotics as prophylaxis for post-prostate biopsy sepsis. Materials and Methods: The study was quantitative with a systematic review design. The studies were identified from Pubmed, Scielo, Medline, Elsevier, EBSCO, and Cochrane Plus databases. A population of 35 articles was identified, of which 10 scientific articles were selected using the GRADE method, all published in the last ten years and in Spanish, Portuguese, or English. Results: The evidence demonstrated the efficacy of using antibiotics as prophylaxis for post-prostate biopsy sepsis, although there is no unified protocol for prophylactic treatment. The most commonly used antibiotics were quinolones, specifically ciprofloxacin orally, due to its ease of administration and cost. For patients with resistance to ciprofloxacin, aminoglycosides were administered. Conclusions: It was concluded that 90% of the studies showed the efficacy of using antibiotics as prophylaxis for post-prostate biopsy sepsis, while 10% concluded that it was ineffective due to factors like diabetes mellitus and antimicrobial resistance from previous use.
