The study objective is to investigate the correlations between opportunistic microorganisms of the urethra and the quality of ejaculate, as well as the concentration of ubiquitory endocrine disruptors (bisphenol A and triclosan) in men semen.Materials and methods. We analysed 63 semen samples of men with normo- and patozoospermia. In seminal fluid the concentration of bisphenol A and triclosan was determined by gas chromatography with mass spectrometry. The microbiocenosis of the urethra was studied by real-time polymerase chain reaction using the Androflor test system. The results were subjected to statistical processing using the Mann — Whitney U-test and correlation analysis. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered significant.Results. Bisphenol A was found in 100 % of the semen samples. Triclosan was detected in 84.9 % of the samples. Comparison groups on the quality of ejaculate (normo- and pathozoospermia) were statistically significantly different in the concentration of bisphenol A and triclosan in seminal fluid (p
