Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Dentistry - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Abstract: Background & Objective: Symptomatic or asymptomatic bacterial infection of male genitourinary tract is regarded as one of the contributing factors for male infertility. The present study was conducted to assess the bacterial isolates from subjects with oligospermia coming to the reproductive biology laboratory of our hospital for evaluation related to primary infertility. Methods: Fifty subjects in the age group of 25 to 45 years visiting the reproductive biology laboratory and on semen analysis having oligospermia (sperm count less than 20 million/ml) were enrolled. The semen sample was evaluated for bacterial growth in the Microbiology Department using standard bacterial culture techniques. Results: Among the 50 samples analyzed, 19 samples were positive for bacterial growth. Seven samples were positive for E. faecalis while four were positive for E. coli. The other microorganisms isolated were Acnietobactor baumanni in two samples, Klebsiella oxytoca in two samples, coagulase negative staphylococcus in three samples and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in one sample. Conclusions: Semen samples of subjects with oligospermia were positive for presence of bacterial isolates in 38% cases with E. faecalis and E. coli being the more common bacteria isolated from the samples.
