Can a bacterial infection be transmitted by intercourse? Is the Pliva 334 tablet (Metronidazole) a viable treatment?

When you say "the bacterial infection", are you referring to something specific or just an infection in general?

All sorts of bacteria (infection or not) can pass itself along during sexual intercourse. For this reason protection is just as important in this case as it is when avoiding pregnancy.

(Plive 334) Metronidazole is used in the treatment of diverticulitis; bacterial infection, trichomoniasis, bacterial vaginitis, and more. I wouldn't recommend using it however unless you have no other means of protection and you are aware that this other individual does have an infection of some sort. I only say this because prescription antibiotics can really take their toll on the body. They are usually taken for up 7 days consistently in order to ward off whatever infection it may be; so once you start, be sure to continue as prescribed by your doctor.

Does this help to answer your question? It wasn't really clear to me what you were getting at in your comment, since there are so many types of bacterial infections.
