ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF CEPHACETRILE KANJI TSUCHIYA, TAKESHI NISHI and TOKIKO OISHI Central Research Division, Takeda Chemical Industries, Ltd., Osaka, Japan SACHIKO GOTO and YASUKO KANEKO Department of Microbiology, Toho University of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan Cephacetrile (CEC) shows in vitro antibacterial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria as well as Cephalothin(CET), Cephaloridine (CER) and Cefazolin (CEZ). CEC exhibits stronger activity against clinical isolates of Proteus mirabilis than that of other cephalosporins. Several antibacterial features of CEC such as the influence of inoculum size, medium ph, effect of addition of horse serum, development of resistance, cross resistance, and bactericidal and bacteriolytic activity were shown to be almost identical to those of other cephalosporins. The antibacterial activity of CEC was stable in solution at ph levels of 2 to 9, especially at ph 4. The in vivo protective activity of CEC was slightly weak than that of CEZ in mice infected intraperitoneally with certain strains of the gram-positive species, and CEC has similar activity with CET in mice infected with certain strains of the gram-negative species.
