Evaluation of different testing tools for the identification of non-gonococcal Neisseria spp. isolated from Lebanese male semen: a strong and significant association with infertility.

CONCLUSION: This work predicted a strong and significant association between the presence of Neisseria spp. in semen and male infertility among the Lebanese population. For a better understanding of this association, it is recommended that more genomic and large-scale epidemiological investigations are undertaken to reach definitive conclusions.
