Question Can the bacteria Enterococcus affect fertility?

We've only just started our fertility investigation, but my DH had an SA done and was told he has a bacteria called Enterococcus. He has no symptoms of anything being wrong (but apparently that's normal) He's on medication for it now, but has anyone heard of this effecting fertility? I'm wondering if this could be why we're not getting PG (because i'm fine and his counts/morph etc. are all fine).

Any thoughts?

I believe that if a man has bacteria in sperm it can affect fertility. I would Google that one, but I think I have read that it can. I really hope this is your answer.
