ABSTRACT:
Cephalosporin antibiotics of formula ##STR1## (where R is thienyl or furyl; R.sup.a and R.sup.b are each selected from hydrogen, C.sub.1-4 alkyl, C.sub.2-4 alkenyl, C.sub.3-7 cycloalkyl, phenyl, naphthyl, thienyl, furyl, carboxy, C.sub.2-5 alkoxycarbonyl and cyano, or R.sup.a and R.sup.b together with the carbon atom to which they are attached form a C.sub.3-7 cycloalkylidene or cycloalkenylidene group; m and n are each 0 or 1 such that the sum of m and n is 0 or 1; and P is hydrogen or halogen) and their non-toxic derivatives exhibit broad spectrum antibiotic activity characterized by particularly high activity against gram negative microorganisms, including those which produce .beta.-lactamases. The compounds, which are syn isomers or exist as mixtures of syn and anti isomers containing at least 90% of the syn isomer, have particularly high in vitro activity against strains of Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae and Proteus organisms; compounds wherein at least one of R.sup.a and R.sup.b is other than hydrogen have also shown unusually high activity against Pseudomonas organisms. Important compounds of the above type include those in which the 7.beta.-acylamido group is a syn-2-carboxymethoxy-2-(fur-2-yl)acetamido, syn-2-(2-carboxyprop-2-yloxyimino)-2-(fur-2-yl)acetamido or syn-2-(1-carboxycyclopent-1-yloxyimino)-2-(fur-2-yl)acetamido group.
