Abstrakt: The therapeutic efficacy of AC-1370, a new cephalosporin, was compared with that of cefoperazone in experimental infections in mice. For intraperitoneal infections caused by and , the efficacy of AC-1370 was inferior to that of cefoperazone. On the other hand, AC-1370 was more potent than cefoperazone against pseudomonal infections. The MICs of AC-1370 against the test strains, however, were inferior or equivalent to those of cefoperazone. Serum and peritoneal exudate levels of AC-1370 in infected mice were more durable than those of cefoperazone. The relationship between AC-1370 and neutrophils was investigated. The efficacy of AC-1370 was more dependent on neutrophils than that of cefoperazone. AC-1370 did not enhance the neutrophil functions of migration and phagocytosis to any significant extent.
