INTERACTION OF GRAM-POSITIVE UROPHATHOGENS ON HUMAN SPERM
2017
Vladimer Papava, Tamar Didbaridze
Gram-positive bacteria are a common cause of urinary tract infection (UTI), particularly among individuals who are elderly, pregnant, or who have other risk factors for UTI. Here we review the epidemiology, virulence mechanisms, and host response to the most frequently isolated Gram-positive uropathogen Staphylococcus aureus in semen. Although S. aureus has been reported to cause immobilization of spermatozoa, however, its role in infertility has yet to be elucidated. We retrospectively have studied the medical records of the 28 patients who visited TSMU The First University Clinic Department of Urology from 2017 January - until May 2017 with complaining of infertility and who had bacteriologicaly Staphylococcus aureus in seminal fluid, no other urophatogens (Ureaplasma, Chlamidia, Mycoplasma) and risk factors for infertility were found and determined the influence of Staphylococcus aureus on semen quality and quantity.
