Effect of Aerobic Bacterial Infection to The Semen Parameters

Semen analysis and culture assay were done ( 1 00) patients suspected to be subfertile men attended the male infertility clinic at Al-Khansa'a hospital in Mosul. The following parameters of semen are studied such as: semen volume liquefaction time sperm count, sperm motility and sperm morphology. Culture have been made in patients with abnormal semen and have pus cells more than 5 cells in High Field Power (HFP).The most commonabnormalities in the semen are decreased sperm count and /or decreased sperm motility. Culture and differential stain of patients' semen of infertile men shows a significant negative correlation to sperm count and sperm motility (When sperm count decreases sperm motility increases),Azoospermia and Oligospermic men show a significant increase infection hapends as a compared to their non infected
