Using the said procedure above, the compounds of formula I were prepared in which ##STR17## EXAMPLE OF PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION
Tablets were prepared containing 150 mg of the product of Example 5 and sufficient Excipient of starch, talc, and magnesium stearate to obtain tablets of 1 g.
PHARMACOLOGICAL STUDY
Method of dilutions in liquid media
A series of tubes were prepared into which an equal amount of sterile nutritive medium was distributed and increasing amounts of the product being studied were distributed into each tube. Then, each tube was seeded with a bacterial strain and after incubation for twenty-four hours in an oven at 37.degree. C., the growth inhibition was evaluated by trans-illumination which allowed the minimal inhibiting concentrations (M.I.C.) to be determined expressed in mnicrograms/ml. The following results were obtained with the product of Example 5: (reading after 24 hours)

Moreover, the product of Example 5 demonstrated a useful activity on the GRAM bacterial strains Haemophilus Influenzae 351HT3, 351CB12, 351CA1 and 351GR6.
The compounds of Examples 12 and 13 have equally demonstrated an excellent activity on the gram (-) and gram (+) bacterial strains. Operating as indicated previously, the following results were obtained with the compounds of examples 12 and 13 (reading after 24 hours).
