Bacterial infections could damage different cells and affect their functions [5]. A variety of microorganisms, in particular, viruses and bacteria have been identified as the urogenital tract pathogens which can cause subfertility [6]. Infections caused by different gram-negative and positive bacteria are responsible for 15% of male primary infertilities [7]. In this respect, it has been documented that bacterial and viral infections caused by Mycoplasma genitalium (M. genitalium), Human papillomavirus (HPV), Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), hepatitis B virus (HBV), Streptococcus faecalis (S. faecalis), mumps, and tuberculosis are associated with male infertility [[8], [9], [10], [11]]. Although the clinical importance of the genital bacterial infections in male fertility is commonly known, the harmful effects of different microbial species on male gametes are still being debated.

However, a major issue for C. trachomatis serological detection is the cross-reactivity between C. trachomatis and other Chlamydia spp., especially Chlamydia pneumoniae. Microimmunofluorescence (MIF), which is the “gold standard” for serodiagnosis of chlamydial infection, is affected by the cross-reactivity of antibodies against C. trachomatis elementary body (EB) antigens with those against other Chlamydia species (17–19). The most commonly used C. trachomatis antigens, such as EBs, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and major outer membrane protein (MOMP), also show high cross-reactivity in the simple enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) format due to genus-specific B cell epitopes (20–22). Although recombinant antigens of C. trachomatis-specific peptides can reduce cross-reactivity, the corresponding assays are usually not sensitive enough with a sensitivity from 45.7% (IgG pELISA plus medac assay) to 82.9% (Pgp3 double-antigen) in women, and from 40.0% (SeroCT) to 54.4% (Pgp3 double-antigen) in men when compared with NAAT (23–27).
