A cephalosporin derivative of the formula (I), ##STR1## wherein A is a mono- or polycyclic heteroaromatic ring, which contains at least one nitrogen atom as a hetero atom and which may be substituted with one or more substituents; R is a phenyl group substituted with at least one substituent selected from the group consisting of an amino group, a hydroxy group, a ureido group and a hydroxymethyl group; and X is an --OCOCH.sub.3 group or an --S-Het group in which Het is a 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic ring containing one to four hetero atoms selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur atoms which may be substituted with one or more substituents, and the non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof which are useful as an antimicrobial and prepared by the reaction of a compound of the formula (II),

N-acylamino-.alpha.-arylacetamido cephalosporins

N-acylamino-alpha-arylacetamido cephalosporins and antibacterial

Thiazolo[5,4-f]quinoline-8-carboxylic acid derivatives having either the general formula (I): ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is a lower alkyl group, a lower alkenyl group or a benzyl group; or the general formula (III-a): ##STR2## WHEREIN R.sub.3 is a lower alkyl group and X is a halogen atom; and methods for the preparation thereof. The compounds of the general formula (I) are useful as antibacterial agents against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. The compounds of the general formula (III-a) are useful as antifungal agents against eumycetes and also as an intermediate in a peparation of the compounds of the general formula (I).
