Erratum.

In the conclusion of the abstract, which reads:

"Clindamycin has higher activity against G. vaginalis and A. vaginae than metronidazole, but not all A. vaginae isolates are metronidazole susceptible, as seemed to be a straightforward conclusion from previous studies on a more limited number of strains."

'metronidazole susceptible' should read as 'metronidazole resistant'.
