Gardnerella and atopobium recurred after failed treatment with vaginal metronidazole gel and vaginal clindamycin gel. possibly bc of resistance or biofilms. is there an effective 3rd line antibiotic treatment? thank you?

There are newer ways of culturing and testing sensitivities of 'exotic' organisms. Best is to see an infectious disease Doc and let him/ her sort it out. In the meantime do not use vaginal washes or douches. Just clean with soap and water. Good luck
