Antibiotics that can penetrate pancreas mnemonic

Hello!

There are only a few antibiotics that can penetrate infected pancreatic necrosis, a complication of acute necrotizing pancreatitis. These are carbapenems, quinolones and metronidazole.

How do I remember these antibiotics? Mnemonic!

Remember the antibiotics that can "Fly, take a Car or a Metro" to the pancreas.

Fly: Fluoroquinolones
Car: Carbapenems
Metro: Metronidazole

That's all!
