Patent Claims:	1. A compound of the formula: ##STR20## wherein R.sup.1 is a phosphono group; R.sup.2 is a hydrogen atom, an optionally substituted C.sub.1-6 alkyl group or a C.sub.3-5 cycloalkyl group; each of Q and X is a nitrogen atom or CH; Y is S; n is 0 or 1; one of R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 is a pyridinium group which may be substituted and the other is a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group which may be substituted, or R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 taken together may form a quaternized nitrogen-containing heterocyclic ring which may be substituted, wherein when R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are taken together, the group of the formula ##STR21## wherein R.sup.5 is an optionally substituted hydrocarbon group; or salt thereof. 2. 7.beta.-[2(Z)-ethoxyimino-2-(5-phosphonoamino-1,2,4-thiadiazole-3-yl)aceta mido]-3-[4-(1-methyl-4-pyridinio)-2-thiazolylthio]-3-cephem-4-carboxylate. 3. A method for producing a pharmaceutical composition comprising mixing a compound of claim 1 with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent or bulking agent. 4. 7.beta.-[2(Z)-ethoxyimino-2-(5-phosphonoamino 1,2,4-thiadiazole-3-yl)acetamido]-3-[4-(1-methyl-4-pyridinio)-2-thiazolyth io]-3-cephem-4-carboxylate or its salt. 5. A method for treating a bacterial infection which comprises administering an effective amount of a compound as claimed in claim 1 to a patient suffering from the bacterial infection. 6. A method for treating a bacterial infection which comprises administering an effective amount of a compound as claimed in claim 1 together with at least one of pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents and excipients to a patient suffering from the bacterial infection. 7. A method as claimed in claim 5, wherein the bacterial infection is a MRSA infection. 8. A compound as claimed in claim 1, wherein R.sup.3 is a pyridinium group which may be substituted and R.sup.4 is a hydrogen atom. 9. A compound as claimed in claim 1, wherein Q is a nitrogen atom. 10. A compound as claimed in claim 1, wherein X is a nitrogen atom. 11. A compound as claimed in claim 1, wherein n is 0. 12. A method for treating a bacterial infection which comprises administering an effective amount of a compound as claimed in claim 4 to a patient suffering from the bacterial infection. 13. A compound as claimed in claim 1, which is 7.beta.-[2(Z)-fluoromethoxyimino-2-(5phophonoamino-1,2,4-thiadiazole-3-yl) acetamido]-3-[4-(1-methyl-4-pyridinio)-2-thiazolylthio]-3-cephem-4carboxyla te or its salt. 14. A method for producing a compound as claimed in claim 1, which comprises reacting a compound of the formula: ##STR22## or its salt; wherein each symbol has the meaning given in claim 1; with a compound of the formula: ##STR23## its salt or its reactive derivative; wherein each symbol has the meaning given in claim 1. 15. A method as claimed in claim 5, wherein the compound is administered by injection. 16. A method for treating a bacterial infection which comprises administering an effective amount of a compound as claimed in claim 4 together with at least one of pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents and excipients to a patient suffering from the bacterial infection. 17. A pharmaceutical composition containing the compound shown in claim 1 and at least one of pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents and bulking agents. 18. A pharmaceutical composition containing the compound of claim 4 and at least one of pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents and bulking agents. 19. A method for producing a pharmaceutical composition comprising mixing a compound of claim 4 with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent or bulking agent. 20. A method as claimed in claim 12, wherein the compound is administered by injection. 21. A method as claimed in claim 12, wherein the bacterial infection is a MRSA infection.
