Compared with four beta-lactam antibiotics and amikacin, BRL 36650 and BMY-28142 were the most active against 509 Enterobacteriaceae, including cefotaxime-resistant isolates and resistant laboratory mutants. BRL 36650 was more active than aztreonam, ceftazidime, and BMY-28142 against Acinetobacter spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and other Pseudomonas spp.; all strains were inhibited by 2 micrograms/ml or less.
