Abstract
Cephalosporins with a 7.beta.-[2-(5-amino-1,2,4-thiadiazol-3-yl)-2-oxyiminoacetamido] side chain were synthesized; their in vitro inhibitory potency was established. The compounds exhibited a strong antibacterial activity against various gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. The antimicrobial activity was related to the oxime substituent and the C-3 substituent. Selected amino-1,2,4-thiadiazolyl-cephems showed a prolonged half-life in mice.
