Abstract: Male genitourinary tract can harbor different pathogens yet most individuals are asymptomatic with bacteriospermia. Leukospermia and bacteriospermia are often associated with the male infertility but clear definition and role of these conditions is not very clear. A total of 510 individuals participated in this study. Cultures from Oligospermic infertile male were compared with normal health fertile males. Data analysis showed that infection rates among infertile males with oligospermia were greater compared with controls. We also found that presence of different bacterial species can alter quality of semen to a variable extent. We found that bacterial isolates are associated with semen changes and types of bacterial pathogen and their association with semen changes could be different in different settings. We feel that duration of bacteriospermia shell be considered and large data sets are required with follow up of the participants to determine true effects and extent of the damage caused by bacteriospermia.
