- the heteroaryl group ##STR222## is optionally substituted by one to three of the radicals independently selected from the group consisting of:
- (a) a trifluoromethyl group; --CF.sub.3 ;
- (b) a halogen atom: --Br, --Cl --F, or --I;
- (c) C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy radical; --OC.sub.1-4 alkyl;
- (d) a hydroxy group: --OH;

- L is --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --; and
- Y is is selected from;
- (i) COOH or a pharmaceutically acceptable thereof;
- (ii) COOM wherein M is an alkali metal or other pharmaceutically acceptable salt; and
- (iii) COOM where M is a negative charge in the case where a permanent positive charge exists elsewhere in the molecule.
- 2. A compound according to claim 1 wherein the ##STR224## group with the acidic sidechain and optional substituent is selected from the group consisted of: ##STR225##
- 3. A compound according to claim 1 wherein the acidic sidechain B is SO.sub.3 H, CH.sub.2 SO.sub.3 H, or CH.sub.2 SO.sub.2 NHCN, while the optional substituent thereon is selected from the group consisting of: Cl and F.
- 4. The compounds ##STR226## wherein R =H, CH.sub.3 ; R'=H, F, Cl; and R"=0 or NCN.
- 5. A compound selected from the group consisting of
- ______________________________________ ##STR227## Compound No. R ##STR228##______________________________________1 H ##STR229##2 H ##STR230##5 H ##STR231##6 H ##STR232##7 H ##STR233##8 H ##STR234##9 H ##STR235##10 H ##STR236##11 H ##STR237##14 H ##STR238##15 H ##STR239##16 CH.sub.3 ##STR240##17 CH.sub.3 ##STR241##19 CH.sub.3 ##STR242##20 CH.sub.3 ##STR243##21 CH.sub.3 ##STR244##22 CH.sub.3 ##STR245##24 H ##STR246##25 H ##STR247##26 H ##STR248##27 CH.sub.3 ##STR249##28 CH.sub.3 ##STR250##29 CH.sub.3 ##STR251##______________________________________
- 6. A pharmaceutical composition for antibacterial use comprising an antibacterially effective amount of a compound of claim 1 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier thereof.
- 7. A method of treating bacterial infections in human or animal subjects in need of such treatment comprising adminstering to such subject an antibacterially effective amount of a compound of claim 1.
- 8. The combination of a compound of claim 1 and a DHP inhibitor.
- 9. The combination of a compound of claim 4 and the DHP inhibitor 7-(L-2-amino-2-carboxyethylthio)-2-(2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxamide)-2-heptanoic acid.
- 10. A pharmaceutical composition for antibacterial use comprising an antibacterially effective amount of a compound of claim 1 an inhibitorily effective amount of a DHF inhibitor, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier thereof.
- 11. A pharmaceutical composition according to claim 10 wherein the DHP inhibitor is 7-(L-2-amino-2-carboxyethylthio)-2 (2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxyamide)-2-heptanoic acid.
- 12. A method of treating bacterial infections in human or animal subjects in need of such treatment comprising coadminstering to such subject an antibacterially effective amount of a compound of claim 1 and an inhibitorily effective amount of a DHP inhibitor.
- 13. A method according to claim 12 wherein the DHP inhibitor is 7-(L-2-amino-2-carboxyethylthio)-2-(2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxamide)-2-heptanoic acid.
