Infertility has become a common problem in recent decades. The pathogenesis of infertility is
variable, but microbiological factors account for a large proportion of it. Dysbiosis of vaginal …

The present study compares the sperm quality of boar seminal doses artificially inoculated
with Escherichia coli and Clostridium perfringens, and maintained in liquid storage at 15° C …

Abstract Purpose Association of Escherichia coli with its detrimental action on spermatozoa
is well established in vitro. Therefore, an attempt was made to clarify the effect of presence of …

In an earlier work done in our laboratory, we have been able to isolate a sperm agglutinating
strain of Escherichia coli from the semen sample of a male attending infertility clinic. Further …

The present study analyses the interaction of boar spermatozoa with Escherichia coli and
Clostridium perfringens, in 9-day refrigerated semen samples. Ejaculates from 10 sexually …

This study evaluated how Proteus vulgaris affects sperm quality and sperm-bacteria
interaction in stored semen samples. A strain of P. vulgaris resistant to streptomycin …

Significant antibacterial properties of non-thermal plasma (NTP) have converted this
technology into a promising alternative to the widespread use of antibiotics in assisted …

In an earlier work performed in our laboratory, we have been able to isolate a sperm
receptor (SR) from human spermatozoa playing critical role in fertilization using sperm–‐E …

For successful fertilization, motility is the most obvious and most essential sperm function
and has been repeatedly shown to be predictive of fertilization in vitro [1]. Several studies …

Background: We have previously isolated a Spermagglutinating Factor (SAF) from
Escherichia coli, which was capable of causing sperm agglutination and impairment of …
