Abstract
We trace the evidence-based evolution of ureaplasmal male infertility as an established clinical entity. We review epidemiology data, possible pathogenic mechanisms of Ureaplasma urealyticum in infertility, and the results of isolation studies and therapeutic trials. Future developments are outlined.
