Abstract

Semen, like blood, has two types of components - the cellular spermatozoa and the non-cellular seminal plasma. Seminal plasma contains the combined secretion of all the male accessory sex glands and is of great physiological significance since it serves as the carrier of sperm to the female reproductive tract; it also influences sperm motility and the acrosome reaction. These physiological attributes of seminal plasma have been widely discussed but the antimicrobial activity of seminal plasma remains relatively unknown.
