Infections of the male genitourinary tract account for up to 15% of cases of male infertility . Acute and chronic infections and consequent inflammation in the male reproductive system may compromise the sperm cell function and the whole spermatogenetic process , causing qualitative and quantitative sperm alterations. Microbiology investigation of male partners in infertile couple can be useful to detect the male urogenital tract infection and susceptibility to antibiotics for empiric treatment. In this study 99 (65.7%) out of a total number of 22 semen samples from infertile males collected yielded bacterial growth with domination of gram positive bacteria namely Staphylococcus aureus . The antimicrobial susceptibility profile showed that most of the organism have increasing resistance to fluoroquinolones. All patients responded to the treatment very well and basic semen parameters and leikocytosis returned to normal level.
