title: Synthesis and antimicrobial activity of a new penem, sodium (5R,6S)-2-(2-fluoroethylthio)-6-[(1R)-1-hydroxyethyl]penem-3- carboxylate.
abstract: The synthesis and in vitro antimicrobial activity of a new penem antibiotic, sodium (5R,6S)-2-(2-fluoroethylthio)-6-[(1R)-1-hydroxyethyl]penem-3-ca rbo xylate (1), are reported. The MIC values of 1 are compared with those of some related 2-haloalkylthio penems prepared in this work, and also Sch 29482 and thienamycin.
