Department of Immunology, School of Medicine, University of Auckland Auckland, New Zealand
accepted 3 May 1985
Ro 17-2301 is a monobactam antibiotic. Its in-vitro activity was compared with those of aztreonam, ampicillin, cefuroxime, ceftriaxone, ceftazidime, and gentamicin. Ro 172301 had qualitatively similar activity to aztreonam and activity superior to that all the other antibiotics against the Enterobacteriaceae, but against Pseudomonas aeruginosa ceftazidime had equal or marginally better activity.
