Interference of human spermatozoal motility and spermatozoal agglutination by Candida albicans. 1977

J P Tuttle, and E R Bannister, and F C Derrick

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.
