Summary

HR 756 is a new cephalosporin derivative suitable for parenteral use. The compound possesses an unusually broad spectrum of antibacterial activity especially against gram-negative bacteria. Besides Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Klebsiella, indole-negative Proteae and other species also indol-positive Proteae, Serratia marcescens, Enterobacter and many Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains are inhibited by this compound. HR 756 is stable to most of theβ-lactamases produced by gram-negative organisms. Tests on different infection models also provided evidence of the high efficacy of HR 756 in vivo.

Zusammenfassung

HR 756 ist ein neues, parenteral anwendbares Cephalosporin-Derivat. Die Substanz besitzt ein ungewöhnlich breites Wirkungsspektrum, besonders gegenüber gramnegativen Keimen. So werden unter anderem neben Escherichia coli, Salmonellen, Klebsiellen, indol-negativen Proteae auch indol-positive Proteae, Serratia marcescens, Enterobacter und auch viele Pseudomonas aeruginosa-Stämme erfaßt. Die Substanz ist stabil gegenüber den meisten von gramnegativen Keimen produziertenβ-Laktamasen. Durch Untersuchungen an verschiedenen Infektionsmodellen konnte auch die hohe Effektivität von HR 756 in vivo bewiesen werden.
