<LOL> It's an older antibiotic, but it's very good against anaerobic bacteria, so is frequently used in gut infections. It has less of a tendency than some other antibiotics to cause an overgrowth of _Clostridium difficile_ (a nasty bug), but IIRC can give a terrible taste to the mouth, and a *dreadful* reaction if you take alcohol while it's in your system.
