Pathologist and Microbiologist,  's  Response
Your count and morphology of the sperms are suboptimal but that is not the only problem. For this organism-Staphylococcus aureus, please change your antibiotic to Augmentin or Cloxacillin. The sample of semen was given perhaps before the culture and sensitivity report that has been included in this report[Staphylococcus]. So initially Cipro and Doxy were started. Now that the culture report is here it is better to take specific antibiotics as mentioned above.
Although only one sperm is required to conceive, you count and morphology are rather too suboptimal. You can repeat the Semen analysis after clearing of infection. The count and morphology may improve.
