Question 1

how can you get streptococcus mitis?

Accepted Answer

Normal flora: Streptococcus mitis is commonly present in the mouth, gastrointestinal tract, female genital tract, and skin.  It is part of our "normal flora;" the bacteria that are normally present in human beings.  Occasionally, it can cause infection (endocarditis, dental infections, meningitis), but infections are unlikely unless the immune system is depressed.

Question 2

Contaminant: It's impossible to collect semen without a few bacteria getting into the specimen and I seriously doubt this has anything whatever to do with your health or fertility.

Question 3

Best of luck. Dr. R
