Page 143 of FA14 says "Treatment [for gardnerella bacterial vaginosis]: metronidazole or (to treat anaerobic bacteria) clindamycin."

What are they getting at when they refer to clinda as "to treat anaerobic bacteria"? Metronidazole is for anaerobes too last time I checked.

It seems like nonsense to me, they certainly are both for anaerobic infections.

Looks like redundant redundancy. Both metronidazole and clindamycin are used for anaerobic bacteria and Gardnerella is anaerobic.
