Interference of Human Spermatosoal Motility and Spermatozoal Agglutination by Candida Albicans

Abstract

Human spermatozoa were exposed to concentrations of 10(2) to 10(7) organisms per ml. Candida albicans. A subsequent striking decrease in spermatozoal motility and significant agglutination were observed. The possible role of mycotic genital tract infections in human infertility is considered.
