1 beta-Methylcarbapenems having various 3,5-disubstituted pyrrolidinylthio-
side chains at C-2 were designed and synthesized. Evaluation of their antib
acterial activities indicated that J-111,347 (la) is the first example of a
n extremely broad spectrum antibiotic showing activity against methicillin-
resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) as well as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. (
