Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 3, 4

Rationale 1: Metronidazole is unique in that it also has antibiotic activity against anaerobic bacteria, and thus is used to treat a number of respiratory, bone, skin, and CNS infections.
Rationale 2: Topical forms are used to treat rosacea.
Rationale 3: Metronidazole is also a drug of choice for two other protozoan infections: giardiasis from Giardia lamblia and trichomoniasis due to Trichomonas vaginalis.
Rationale 4: Metronidazole is a preferred drug for amebiasis because it is effective against amoebas in the intestine and in other organs.
Rationale 5:This class of medication is not used to treat HIV/AIDS. Antiretroviral medications are used for this purpose.
