Sperm Culture Analysis, Enterococcus Sp, Klebsiella Pneumoniae, Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, Contamination Of Sample ?

Can someone help me? took culture of sperm and the result was: DET. QUANTITY: 5000 CFU / mL (CFU / mL - Colonies Forming Units per mL) Microorganism (s) 1 - 30% Enterococcus sp --------------- 2 - 30% of Klebsiella pneumoniae --------------------- 3 - 40% Pseudomonas aeruginosa ---------------------- I did not have hospitalization and surgical procedures did not go through. I performed the same test 3 months ago and the result was negative. may have been contamination of the sample in the laboratory? thank you

Hi, This report points to infection of your genital tract. If you have any symptoms you should consult a urologist for proper treatment. If you don't have any symptoms then results may be biased and you should repeat the test in a good lab ( both culture & sensitivity) So, that appropriate antibiotic can be given to you if turn out to be positive. Take care.
