2 issues: Your situation poses 2 clinical questions. First is to find an antibiotic that will both be efficient against the strain you have and penetrate the prostate and second to remove the conditions that make you prone to having the infection. An antibiogram should help and a thorough urology evaluation with possible infectious disease input should be enough to address above points.
