.beta.-Lactam antibiotics are disclosed which have the formulae (Ia) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or pharmaceutically acceptable in vivo hydrolysable esters thereof: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is phenyl, substituted phenyl, cyclohexenyl, cyclohexadienyl, or an optionally substituted 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic ring containing up to three hetero-atoms selected from oxygen, sulphur or nitrogen; R.sup.2 is hydrogen or optionally substituted C.sub.1-6 alkyl; R.sup.3 is an optionally substituted 5- or 6- membered heterocyclic group containing one or two nitrogen heteroatoms; or R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached form an optionally substituted 5- or 6- membered heterocyclic group contaning one or two nitrogen heteroatoms; R.sup.4 is a substituted pyridinium group; and CO.sub.2 R is carboxy or a carboxylate anion; and also the use thereof. Processes for the preparation of the compounds are disclosed together with intermediates for use therein.

Cephem compounds

The present invention provides a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or in-vivo hydrolysable ester thereof: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is a 5 or 6 membered sulphur and/or nitrogen containing heterocyclic group substituted by an optionally protected amino group, with the proviso that R.sup.1 is not 2-aminothiazol-4-yl, and R is hydrogen; optionally substituted C.sub.1-12 alkyl; optionally substituted C.sub.2-12 alkenyl or alkynyl; carbocyclyl; aryl or heterocyclyl. These compounds have antibacterial properties, and therefore are of use in the treatment of bacterial infections in humans and animals caused by a wide range of organizations.

Heterocyclic substituted penicillin antibiotics

The present invention provides a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or in-vivo hydrolysable ester thereof: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is hydrogen or an amino protecting group and R is substituted methyl; optionally substituted C.sub.2-12 alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl; carbocyclyl; aryl or heterocyclyl. These compounds have antibacterial properties, and therefore are of use in the treatment of bacterial infections in humans and animals caused by a wide range of organisms.

Aminothiazole substituted penicillins and antibacterial compositions
