Caesar’s life has gone downhill since winning the Emmy Penny because the statue causes trouble by shooting silly string at his kidney friend who hangs out by the hydrant pep-D. Now he just sits on the toilet, fishes for resistant black beta fish and makes his dermatologist do house calls. He reminisces about days of broad rainbows, Graham angel making silly cock-eyes, and Graham devil poking ant-robe with a rod

Macaroni-lights brighten the train track for Train-loco conducted by cock-eyed Graham angel, but rapper 50S riding Rabbi-RNA-Rhino branded 23S blocks the way. The earth throws zipper-mice and the clarinet mouse plays a tune to distract 50S’s rhino, but the methylated rhino with a resistance bandana must step in so that the train can deliver its precious cargo - a Mona Lisa holding an atypical CXR and covering her parts with a clam.

A
  • Macrolides: GPC bacteriostatic
  • Bind 23S rRNA of 50S subunit, blocking translocation (protein synthesis)
  • erythromycin, azithromycrin, clarithromycin
  • resistance via methylation of 23S rRNA binding site
  • Tx. atypical pneumonia, chlamydia

A
  • Macrolide AE’s
  • diarrhea (motilin)

Gardner-ella had to leave Metro Knight at Club Metal Mouth by midnight on the tricycle with antennae-amoeba she stole from jar-head-lamb because she had a nasty case of vaginitis. Knight went after her destroying the DNA metro tracks and pelting her with bacteria-sliders and free radicals. The dyed-shirt-surfer stayed at the club to party and drink

  • Metronidazole: bactericidal; forms free radial toxin metabolites that damage enzymes and DNA
  • Tx. giardia lamblia, Gardenerella (gray, fishy), Trichomonas (burning, green), Entamoeba, anaerobes
  • AE: metallic taste and disulfiram-like reaction with EtOH
