Abstract

Novel carbapenem compounds, which are shown by the formula (I): ##STR1## wherein R is --SO.sub.3 H or hydrogen, or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof, are useful as a bactericide or disinfectant, and also produce a synergistic effect with penicillin and/or cephalosporin antibiotic agents. The compound of the formula (I) can be produced by subjecting to reduction reaction a compound of the formula: ##STR2## wherein R has the same meaning as defined above, or a salt thereof.
