Pathogens Analysis of 2123 Male Genitourinary Specimens

Objective To investigate the distribution of pathogens which caused male genitourinary infection and provide reliable evidence for preventing and treating male urogenital infection.Methods 2 123 male genitourinary microbiological test specimens were retrospectively analyzed.Results A total of 1 082 pathogens were detected from 2 123 samples,with a detection rate of 50.96%.Ureaplasma urealyticum had the highest detection rate(24.30%).The pathogenic bacteria detection rate(60.09%) was the highest among various types of male urogenital samples, and the mixed infection detection rate was 12.7% .The detection rate of Streptococcus agalactiae from the semen was significantly higher than that from prostatic secretion(P0.05).Conclusion Ureaplasma urealyticum was the main pathogens in male genitourinary infection.Urethral swab specimens was the most appropriate male urogenital tract sampling for pathogens inspection.Further studies are necessary to determine the correlation between Streptococcus agalactiae infection and male infertility.
