Final answer:

Metoclopramide is contraindicated for certain types of bacterial infections, but other treatment options may be available for different infections.

Step-by-step explanation:

Metoclopramide is contraindicated for patients with EIEC (Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli) and EHEC (Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli) infections. It is also not recommended for patients with ETEC (Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli) and EPEC (Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli) infections, but these patients may be treated with fluoroquinolones, doxycycline, rifaximin, and TMP/SMZ.
