Abstract
The in vitro effect of an Escherichia coli filtrate obtained from open pulpar necrosis on human sperm motility was studied. The E. coli filtrate produced a loss in sperm motility. The immobilizing factor was studied and characterized as a heat-stable, resistant to lyophilization and non-dialyzable substance, which could reach the male reproductive system via the blood stream and affect sperm motility.Keywords
