The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (Atlanta, Georgia, USA) STD Treatment Guidelines recommends the use of a 5-nitroimidazole antimicrobial agent, either metronidazole or tinidazole, for the treatment of T. vaginalis infection ( 8 ). (cdc.gov)
Prevalence2
We assessed the prevalence of in vitro aerobic metronidazole and tinidazole resistance among T. vaginalis isolates from multiple geographic sites in the United States. (cdc.gov)

Three-quarters of girls with bacterial vaginosis and C. albicans, and 50% with T. vaginalis were asymptomatic. (lstmed.ac.uk)
Isolates5
Clinical resistance and treatment failure have occurred with T. vaginalis isolates for which MLCs of nitroimidazoles were as low as 12.5 μg/mL, and treatment success has occurred in infections with T. vaginalis isolates for which MLCs of nitroimidazoles were 100-200 μg/mL. [ 13 ] In general, however, elevated MLCs are associated with a greater likelihood of treatment failure. (medscape.com)
