Whereas yeasts were not normally isolated from raw semen samples 13% of commercial frozen semen samples and 71% of preputial washings contained yeasts. Nine genera and 25 species of yeasts have been identified from these two sources. Yeasts originating in the preputial cavity were generally saprobic members of the genera Candida, Cryptococcus, Rhodotorula, Saccharomyces, Torulopsis and Trichosporon. Those originating as contaminants during processing were more likely to be opportunistic pathogens of the genus Candida. Conception was not necessarily affected by the presence of large numbers of Candida krusei or C. macedoniensis in the uterus.
虽然正常情况下未从新鲜精液样本中分离出酵母菌，但13%的商业冷冻精液样本和71%的包皮洗液中含有酵母菌。已从这两个来源鉴定出9个属和25种酵母菌。起源于包皮腔的酵母菌通常是念珠菌属、隐球菌属、红酵母属、酿酒酵母属、球拟酵母属和丝孢酵母属的腐生菌。那些在加工过程中作为污染物产生的酵母菌更有可能是念珠菌属的机会致病菌。子宫中存在大量克鲁斯念珠菌或马其顿念珠菌不一定会影响受孕。
