The compounds of this invention of the formula (I) and the salts thereof exhibit excellent antimicrobial activity broadly on gram-positive and negative bacteria at low concentrations. They are useful compounds which show particularly potent antibacterial activity on Streptococcus, Pseudomonas, Enterobacter, Proteus, etc., on which conventional synthetic antibacterial agents are not effective or only slightly effective. In addition, they show a high antibacterial activity on coliform bacilli, staphylococci, etc., which are major causes of infectious diseases and are also effective on Serratia, Klebsiella, etc., which also cause infectious diseases that have recently attracted wide attention of many workers in the field, and therefore they are very useful clinically.

1 15~232 1 As stated above, the compounds of this invention are advantageous not only because they are characterized by a broad antimicrobial spectrum and potent activity, but also because they not only show no decrease in anti-microbial activity in the presence of a serum, but rather show a tendency towards increased activity. This phenom-enon is surprising to one skilled in the art since it has hitherto been observed that conventional pharmaceuticals having antimicrobial activity show decreased activity in the presence of a serum. This strongly suggests that the compound of this invention can exhibit potent antimicrobial activity in the blood.
The oral toxicity of the compounds of this invention is very low as compared with the effective oral dosage thereof.
The compounds of this invention have excellent antimicrobial activity on those bacteria which are resist-ant or have acquired resistance to conventional anti-biotics such as penicillin, cephalosporin, ampicillin, streptomycin, erythromycin, Kanamycin, nalidixic acid, etc.
~ Vhen administered orally the compounds of this invention are absorbed readily and their blood level or activity in the blood level is maintained at high levels so that they can exhibit potent antimicrobial activity also in this respect.
