Suitable examples of the salts of said compounds (II) and (III) include alkali metal salts (e.g. sodium salt, potassium salt), organic amine salts (e.g. triethylamine salt) and the like. The reaction is preferably carried out at a temperature between 20.degree. C. and 70.degree. C., especially between 40.degree. C. and 65.degree. C., and in an atmosphere of inert gas.
The condensation reaction of the compound (III) and the compound (IV) can be effected substantially in the same manner as the reaction of the compounds (II) and (III) illustrated above. In a typical embodiment, the reaction is effected in the presence of an alkali agent (e.g. sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, triethylamine) in water or in a phosphate buffer solution. In another embodiment, the compound (IV) in the form of a salt is used for the reaction in a phosphate buffer solution. When the compounds (III) and (IV) are used in the free form, the reaction may be conducted in an organic solvent (e.g. cyanomethane, acetic acid, nitromethane), preferably in one having strong polarity.

C. when the compound (VI) is used in the form of an acid halide or mixed anhydride, and between -15.degree. C. and 10.degree. C. when the compound (VI) is used in the form of an activated ester or amide. Alternatively, the condensation reaction of the compound (V) with the compound (VI) may be conducted by treating the compound (V) with the compound (VI) in the presence of a dehydrating or condensing agent. Suitable examples of the dehydrating or condensing agent are the N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, N,N'-carbonyldiimidazole, N-ethyl-5-phenylisoxazolium-3'-sulfonate, Vilsmeier reagent prepared by the reaction of dimethylformamide with phosphoryl chloride and the like.

Removal of the protecting groups (X, R.sup.1a) and the protecting groups in the protected carboxy(lower)alkyl group and the protected hydroxy(lower)alkyl group) can be conducted by conventional methods such as hydrolysis, reduction or the like. These methods may be selected according to the kinds of the protecting groups to be removed. For example, when the protecting group is trityl or tetrahydropyranyl, it is preferably removed by treating with formic acid at room temperature. Monochloroacetyl or trifluoroacetyl groups can be removed by treating with thiourea-sodium acetate in tetrahydrofuran or with sodium acetate in water. Formyl groups can be removed by treating with concentrated hydrochloric acid. An ester residue as the carboxy-protecting group such as tert-butyl or trityl can be removed by treating with trifluoroacetic acid. This removal reaction is accelerated by addition of anisole.
Among the starting compounds of the invention, the compound (II) may be obtained, for example, according to the methods described in Tetrahedron 34, 2233 (1978) or Japanese Patent Publication (unexamined) No. 132593/1979. 1-Amino-5-mercapto-1H-tetrazole, i.e., the compound (III) in which both of R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are hydrogen atoms, can be obtained by reacting a lower alkyl ester of dithiocarbazic acid with an alkali metal azide at about 50.degree. C. to 85.degree. C. in an alcoholic solvent. On the other hand, the compound (III) in which R.sup.2 is formyl or alkanoyl and R.sup.3 is a hydrogen atom may be prepared, for example, by formylation or acylation of 1-amino-5-mercapto-1H-tetrazole in a manner known per se. The compound (III) in which R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 together form an aralkylidene group may be prepared, for example, by reaction of 1-amino-5-mercapto-1H-tetrazole with an aldehyde corresponding to said aralkylidene group, or by reacting a lower alkyl ester of N-aralkylidene-dithiocarbazic acid with tetraalkylguanidinium azide at about 40.degree. C. to 75.degree. C. in an alcoholic solvent in a carbon dioxide gas atmosphere.
The compound (III) in a which R.sup.2 is hydrogen atom and R.sup.3 is a lower alkyl group, or R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are a lower alkyl group may be prepared, for example, by treating 1-acylamino-5-mercapto-1H-tetrazole with a reducing agent (i.e., metalborohydride, alkali metal bis(lower alkoxy-lower alkoxy)aluminum hydride, and the like.); or by the steps of (i) reacting 1-amino-5-mercapto-1H-tetrazole with an aldehyde corresponding to said lower alkyl group to give a N-alkylidene derivative thereof, and (ii) treating the alkylidene derivative with a reducing agent.
The cephalosporin compound (I) of the present invention and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof are novel and useful as antibacterial agents, as nutritional supplements in animal food or as chemotherapeutic agents in poultry and animals, including humans, in the treatment of infectious diseases caused by gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. That is, said compound (I) and a salt thereof show potent antimicrobial activity against a wide variety of microorganisms, especially against those belonging to the genera Proteus, Pseudomonas and Bacteroides.

In addition, the compound (I) in which R.sup.1 is methyl or tetrazol-5-yl-methyl and R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are hydrogen atoms shows the M.I.C. of 3.13 to 6.25 .mu.g/ml against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The compound (I) and a salt thereof also show potent antimicrobial activity against bacteria belonging to the genera Klebsiella, Clostridium, Enterobacter, Serratia and salmonella. For example, the compound (I) in which R.sup.1 is methyl and R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are hydrogen atoms shows the M.I.C. of <0.05 .mu.g/ml against Klebsiella pneumoneae, Enterobacter cloacae and Shigella sonnei, respectively. The compound (I) and a salt thereof further show an anti-microbial activity against strains belonging to the genera Staphylococcus and Escherichia.

The cephalosporin compound (I) and a salt thereof are further characterized in that they have a high stability against a variety of .beta.-lactamases-producing microorganisms, especially against .beta.-lactamases produced by P. vulgaris GN 76/C-1 (Ic-type). The toxicity of the cephalosporin compound (I) is low. For example, when the compound (I) in which R.sup.1 is methyl or tetrazol-5-ylmethyl and R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are hydrogen atom was administered intravenously to mice at a dose of 5 g/kg, no mouse died during the period of 7 days after the administration.

Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compound (I) include, for example, non-toxic metallic salts such as sodium, potassium, calcium or aluminum salts; ammonium salt; salts with non-toxic amines such as trialkylamine (e.g. triethylamine) and procaine; salts with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid or hydrobromic acid; salts with organic acids such as oxalic acid or tartaric acid; and so forth. These salts are readily obtained by treating the compound (I) with a stoichiometric amount of the corresponding base or acid, or by salt-interchange. The cephalosporin compound (I) and a salt thereof can be administered either orally or parenterally (e.g. intravenously, intramuscularly, subcutaneously). The daily dose of the compound (I) or a salt thereof may vary over a wide range depending on the age, weight or conditions of patients, and severity of diseases to be treated. In general, however, a preferred daily dose of said compound (I) or a salt thereof may be about 0.5 to about 10 g, especially 0.5 to 4 g, per day.

Suitable excipients include, for example, gelatin, lactose, glucose, sodium chloride, starch, magnesium stearate, talcum, vegetable oil and other known medicinal excipients. The pharmaceutical preparations may be in solid form such as coated or uncoated tablets, pills, granules or capsules; or in liquid form such as solutions, suspensions or emulsions. They may be sterilized and/or may further contain auxiliaries such as stabilizing, wetting or emulsifying agents.
