Abstract
To determine the effect on human sperm of Escherichia coli strains separated on the basis of their ability to produce hemolysis. Experimental study. University-based laboratory. Semen samples from healthy donors. Five million sperm, selected via the swim-up method, were incubated with 3 E. coli concentrations to obtain ratios of sperm to E. coli of 1:2, 1:16, and 1:128. The E. coli strains were: a hemolytic isolated strain (H), a nonhemolytic American Type Culture Collection strain (NH-ATCC), and a nonhemolytic isolated strain (NH-I). Aliquots of human sperm were used to measure progressive motility using computer-aided sperm analysis, mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) with a JC-1 (5,5',6,6' tetrachloro-1,1',3,3'-tetraethylbenzamidazolocarbocyanin iodide) and propidium iodide stain, and intracellular reactive oxygen species (iROS) with a dihydroethidium (DHE) stain. Sperm ΔΨm and iROS were measured by flow cytometry. Sperm vitality was considered the mean of propidium iodide-negative and DHE-negative cells. Sperm incubated with the H strain in a 1:2 sperm to bacteria ratio demonstrated a significant decrease in motility and ΔΨm, and an increase of iROS. The NH-ATCC strain decreased sperm motility and ΔΨm, but in a ratio of...Continue Reading
