Abstract: The microorganisms Micromonospora inyoensis 1550F-1G and M. purpurea strain 1124 each microbiologically convert tobramycin, kanamycin A, kanamycin B and dibekacin to their respective 3"-N-methyl and 3"-N-methyl-4"-C-methyl derivatives. The derivatives exhibit significant activity against representative gram positive and gram negative bacteria and may also be converted to other derivatives which have significant antibacterial activity.

Abstract: Described is a novel process for the preparation of penems and carbapenems useful as antibacterial agents which comprises the reaction of an appropriate 4-substituted-azetidine-2-one with an acid halide in the presence of a tertiary amine and an alkaline earth metal carbonate, followed by reaction of the thereby formed 1-imido-4-substituted-azetidine-2-one with a trialkyl phosphite.Also described are novel penems useful as antibacterials which are prepared by the described process.
