Claims
- 1. A water-soluble antibiotic composition which comprises crystals of a cephem compound of the following formula: ##STR20## wherein R.sup.1 is lower alkyl or lower alkenyl, each of which may have substituent(s) selected from the group consisting of carboxy, halogen, cyano, amino and hydroxy, and
- R.sup.2 is lower alkyl substituted with a 5 - to 10-membered mono or bicyclic heterocyclic group containing a quaternary nitrogen atom which may have a carbamoyl group, or an acid addition salt thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carbonic acid salt.
- 2. A water-soluble antibiotic composition of the claim 1, wherein the cephem compound is in a form of the acid addition salt.
- 3. A water-soluble antibiotic composition of the claim 2, wherein the ratio of the acid addition salt of the cephem compound to the carbonic acid salt is 1:0.5 to 1:4 equivalents.
- 4. A water-soluble antibiotic composition of the claim 3, wherein the ratio of the acid addition salt of the cephem compound to the carbonic acid salt is 1:1 to 1:3 equivalents.
- 5. A water-soluble antibiotic composition of the claim 4, wherein R.sup.1 is lower alkyl or lower alkenyl, R.sup.2 is 1-pyridiniomethyl, and the pharmaceutically acceptable carbonic acid salt is alkaline metal hydrogencarbonate or alkaline metal carbonate.
- 6. A water-soluble antibiotic composition of the claim 5, wherein R.sup.1 is allyl or propyl.
- 7. A water-soluble antibiotic composition of the claim 6, wherein the acid addition salt of the cephem compound is 7-[2-allyloxyimino-2-(5-amino-1,2,4-thiadiazol-3yl)-acetamido]-3-(1-pyridinio)methyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylate hydrochloride (syn isomer) or its dihydrate.
- 8. A water-soluble antibiotic composition of the claim 7, wherein alkaline metal hydrogencarbonate is sodium hydrogencarbonate, and the ratio of the acid addition salt of the cephem compound to sodium hydrogencarbonate is 1:1 equivalent.
- 9. A salt comprising cation(s) and anion of the formula: ##STR21## wherein R.sup.1 is lower alkyl or lower alkenyl, each of which may have substituent(s) selected from the group consisting of carboxy, halogen, cyano, amino and hydroxy, and
- R.sup.2 is lower alkyl substituted with a 5- to 10-membered mono or bicyclic heterocyclic group containing a quaternary nitrogen atom which may have a carbamoyl group.
- 10. A salt of the claim 9, wherein the anion is represented by the following formula: ##STR22## wherein R.sup.1 is lower alkyl or lower alkenyl and R.sup.2 is 1-pyridiniomethyl, quinuclidiniomethyl, or a group of the formula: ##STR23## each of which may have carbamoyl.
- 11. A salt of the claim 10, wherein R.sup.2 is 1-pyridiniomethyl, and the cation is an alkaline metal.
- 12. A salt of the claim 11, which is sodium 7-[2-allyloxyimino-2-(5-carboxylatoamino-1,2,4-thiadiazol-3-yl)acetamido]-3-(1-pyridinio)methyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylate (syn isomer).
- 13. A salt of the claim 11, which is sodium 7-[2-(5-carboxylatoamino-1,2,4-thiadiazol-3-yl)-2-propyloxyiminoacetamido]-3-(1-pyridinio)methyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylate (syn isomer).
- 14. An antibiotic, pharmaceutical composition comprising an effective amount of a salt of claim 9 in association with a pharmaceutically acceptable, substantially non-toxic carrier or excipient.
- 15. A method for the treatment of infectious diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria which comprises administering an antibiotically effective amount of a salt of claim 9 to a human or animal.
