     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     The identification and selection of an antibacterial chemotherapeutic agent for development depends on several properties. These include in vitro potency against bacteria, in vivo efficacy in animals and man, pharmacokinetic parameters such as good plasma levels and favorable metabolism, and reduced side effects and toxicity. The ideal agent should have the best blend of these properties. 
     Within the quinolone/naphthyridone class of antibacterials efforts are directed toward increasing in vitro and in vivo efficacy while lowering certain side effects such as phototoxicity and cytotoxicity and reducing general toxicity as well. 
     It is also known that within the chiral environment of living organisms, individual stereoisomers/enantiomers of drugs may show unique properties relative to the racemic mixtures. When this occurs, the optimal properties of the drug can only be obtained when the most favorable stereoisomer is utilized in its pure chiral form. 
     U.S. Pat. No. 4,665,079 shows quinolones and naphthyridones by structural formula to have 7-[3-(1-aminoalkyl)-1-pyrrolidinyl]side chains. These compounds of formula A, where R 1  or R 2  ##STR1## are alkyl or hydrogen were revealed to have good antibacterial in vitro potency. European Patent Publication 207,420 describes such compounds having the two asymmetric centers in the C 7  side chain of the quinolone/naphthyridone and the preparation of two diastereomeric mixtures, each containing two nonseparable enantiomers of formula B and C. ##STR2## The mixtures B and C were described to possess improved in vivo activity relative to unsubstituted compounds (Formula A, where R 1  and R 2  are hydrogen). All data reported were for the mixtures, and no method of separation of the mixtures was described. At the International Congress of Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC) in Houston, Tex., 1989, there were reported certain individual enantiomers of 1-ethyl and 1-cyclopropyl-6,8-difluoro-quinolone-3-carboxylic acids. The 3-(R)-1&#39;-(S) stereoisomers were disclosed to have the most potent activity in vitro. One stereoisomer (3R,1&#39;S) was shown to have improved in vivo efficacy relative to an unsubstituted analog. Except for the in vitro data, no other comparisons among the pure stereoisomers were provided. The method employed to prepare and isolate the individual enantiomers involved putting a chiral auxiliary, N-tosylproline, on the amine side chain and performing a separation, removing the N-tosylproline, then replacing it with a conventional protecting group. 
     It has now been found that overall therapeutic value, i.e. efficacy and safety, of individual enantiomers of various 7-[3-(1-aminoalkyl)-1-pyrrolidinyl]quinolones and naphthyridones cannot be predicted until all of the enantiomers are made, separated, and tested. 
     It has also been found, further, that the use of a chiral auxiliary, such as (S)- or (R)-α-methylbenzylamine, as a protecting group, permits separation of diastereomeric amines, thus saving two costly steps in the overall synthesis of all four stereoisomers of 7-[3-(1-aminoalkyl)-1-pyrrolidinyl]quinolones and naphthyridines. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     Accordingly, the present invention includes all four novel enantiomers of the formula I ##STR3## wherein * denotes an asymmetric carbon atom; 
     X is C--H, C--F, C--Cl, C--OR, C--CF 3  or N; 
     R 1  is ethyl, cyclopropyl, or 2,4-difluorophenyl; 
     R 2  is hydrogen, alkyl of 1-4 carbon atoms or a cation; 
     R 3  is hydrogen, amino, or methyl; 
     R and R&#39; are each independently hydrogen or alkyl of 1-3 carbon atoms, or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof; with the proviso that when X is C--F, R 3  is amino or R 1  is 2,4-difluorophenyl. 
     The invention also includes a pharmaceutical composition which comprises an antibacterially effective amount of a compound having structural formula I and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. 
     The invention further includes a method for treating bacterial infections in a mammal which comprises administering an antibacterially effective amount of the above defined pharmaceutical composition to a mammal in need thereof. 
     The invention in another aspect includes a process for the preparation of a compound of formula I which comprises reacting a compound of the formula II ##STR4## wherein L is fluorine or chlorine or other leaving groups with an individual stereoisomer of the amine of formula III ##STR5## wherein * denotes an asymmetric carbon atom; 
     R is hydrogen or alkyl of 1-3 carbon atoms; and 
     R&#34; is hydrogen, alkyl of 1-3 carbon atoms or an amino protecting group which can be removed, if necessary, according to known methods. 
     The invention in still another aspect includes novel stereoisomers as intermediates which are: 
     (a) stereoisomers of the formula III ##STR6## wherein * denotes asymmetric carbon atoms; R and R&#34; are independently hydrogen or alkyl of 1-3 carbon atoms or an amino protecting group which can be removed by known methods; 
     (b) stereoisomers of the formula IV ##STR7## wherein * and *&#39; denote asymmetric carbon atoms; R is hydrogen or alkyl of 1-3 carbon atoms; and 
     R&#34; is hydrogen, alkyl of 1-3 carbon atoms, acetyl, trifluoroacetyl or t-butyloxycarbonyl; 
     (c) stereoisomers of the formula V ##STR8## wherein * and *&#39; denote asymmetric carbon atoms. 
     Finally, the invention includes a process for the preparation of the individual enantiomers of the formula III ##STR9## wherein * denotes asymmetric carbon atoms and R and R&#34; are independently hydrogen or alkyl of 1-3 carbon atoms which comprises: 
     (a) converting a chirally fixed pyrrolidin-5-one-3-carboxylic acid of the formula VI ##STR10## wherein * and *&#39; is either R or S by known methods to a diastereomeric pair of oximes of the formula ##STR11## wherein * and *&#39; are asymmetric carbon atoms; 
     (b) separating the diastereomers by column chromatography; 
     (c) reducing each diastereomeric oxime by known means to a diastereomeric pair of amines of the formula VIII ##STR12## 
     (d) separating each of these diastereomeric pairs into the individual diastereomers by column chromatography; 
     (e) reducing the 5-pyrrolidinone by known methods and protecting the free amino group with a suitable protecting group (such as BOC, Acetate etc.) by known methods, if desired; 
     (f) removing the chiral α-methylbenzyl protecting group by hydrogenolysis, thereby liberating the four, separated diastereomers of formulae IIIa-d, and 
     (g) converting, if desired, by known means the resulting compounds of formula VIII or III where R is hydrogen to those where R is independently hydrogen or alkyl of 1-3 carbon atoms. The entire overall process can be summarized in Scheme A. ##STR13## 
     DETAILED DESCRIPTION AND PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
     The quinolones and naphthyridones of the present invention have 7-[3-(1-aminoalkyl)-1-pyrrolidinyl] as a side chain. This moiety has two asymmetric centers and thus is capable of existing in four stereoisomeric forms. These are illustrated as IIIa-d in Scheme A. 
     Of the four possible stereoisomers of the quinolones and naphthyridones of the present invention, it has been found that the 3R,1S stereoisomers are generally more potent in vitro, the 3R,1R stereoisomers being second best. However, in vivo efficacy shows the 3R,1S as the generally preferred stereoisomer with the 3S,1R and the 3R,1R alternating for second best. Nevertheless, when considering overall safety and efficacy, i.e. taking potential side effects such as phototoxicity and cytotoxicity into account, the 3S,1R stereoisomers can become overall preferred.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     Starting from the previously prepared (J. Med. Chem., (1987), 30, 1711) 1-(S-α-methylbenzyl)pyrrolidin-5-one-3-carboxylic acid (1) conversion to an activated intermediate (2) is preferably done by reaction with carbonyl diimidazole in THF at 30°-50° C. for 18-30 hours, Equation 1. Alternative solvents include diethylether, dioxane and the like, chlorocarbon solvents, toluene or other aromatic solvents at room temperature to 100° C. for 1-72 hours. Alternative methods of carboxylic acid activation such as conversion to an acid chloride with thionyl chloride, phosphorus oxychloride, or the like or activation by conversion to a mixed anhydride with trifluoroacetic anhydride or the like are also suitable. The activated acid (2) is reacted in situ, preferably, or after isolation with an anion of diethylmalonate, preferably magnesium bis(ethylmalonate) (3) in THF at reflux temperature for 2-4 hours. The solvents employed above are also acceptable for this step at ambient temperatures to 150° C. The use of dilithio ethylmalonate, or the anion of diethylmalonate (cation=lithium, magnesium, sodium, calcium, or potassium) are also acceptable. In situ decarboxylation is accomplished next through the use of an aqueous workup or if desired an acidic workup to give 3-(2&#39;-(ethoxycarbonyl)acetyl)-1-(S-α-methylbenzyl)pyrrolidin-5-one (4). Acids useful for affecting decarboxylation are HCl, H 2  SO 4 , H 3  PO 4  and the like, Equation 1. 
     This β-keto ester (4) is reacted preferably with sodium chloride in DMSO containing 100-1000 mol % water at 120°-220° C. to affect decarboxylation, preferably 200-400 mol % of NaCl at 103°-140° C. for 18-24 hours, giving 3-(acetyl)-1-(S-α-methylbenzyl)pyrrolidin-5-one (5), Equation 2. 
     The methyl ketone (5) was converted to 3-(1&#39;-hydroxyiminoethyl)-1-(S-α-methylbenzyl)pyrrolidin-5-one (6 and 7) via reaction with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in a suitable solvent at ambient temperature to 100° C. Preferably this is performed in ethanol/water at 40° C. to ambient temperature. Solvents such as pyridine, THF, and other alcohol solvents are also useful for the preparation of the oxime. The oxime (6 and 7) is separated into its individual diastereomers (6) and (7) by column chromatography on silica gel (70-230 or 230-400 mesh) using ethyl acetate, ethyl acetate-saturated hydrocarbon solvent, such as pentane, hexane, heptane, and isooctane. Final purification is through recrystallization of the purified diastereomers 3S-3-(1&#39;-hydroxyiminoethyl)-1-(S-α-methylbenzyl)pyrrolidin-5-one (6) and 3R-3-(1&#39;RS-hydroxyiminoethyl)-1-(S-α-methylbenzyl)pyrrolidin-5-one (7) from ethyl acetate or a like solvent. 
     The individual oxime (7) is reduced to the primary amines, (3R,1RS)-3-(1&#39;-aminoethyl)-1-(S-α-methylbenzyl)pyrrolidin-5-one (8 and 9) through the use of catalytic hydrogenation with hydrogen gas (Equation 4) or a hydrogen source such as ammonium formate, cyclohexene, or cyclohexadiene. The preferred catalysts being platinum oxide, varying percentages of rhodium on an inert support such as carbon, alumina, or Raney-nickel, or the like, in solvents such as methanol, ethanol, THF, ethyl acetate and the like at ambient temperatures to 40°-60° C., preferably at room temperature. The reduction produced a set of diastereomers (8 and 9) which were separated by column chromatography on silica gel (70-230 or 230-400 mesh) using a chlorocarbon solvent containing varying concentrations of a tertiary amine and an alcohol, preferably chloroform-triethylamine-ethanol giving 3R,1&#39;S-3-(1&#39;-aminoethyl)-1-(S-α-methylbenzyl)pyrrolidin-5-one (8) and 3R,1&#39;R-3-(1&#39;-aminoethyl)-1-(S-α-methylbenzyl)pyrrolidin-5-one (9), (Equation 4). 
     Likewise the oxime (6) could be reduced to give 3S,1&#39;RS-(1&#39;-aminoethyl)-1-(S-α-methylbenzyl)-2pyrrolidin-5-one (10 and 11), Equation 4. 
     The individual diastereomeric pyrrolidone amines (8,9,10,11) were reduced to the pyrrolidines through the action of a hydride reducing agent in an inert solvent at an elevated temperature, usually lithium aluminum hydride in an ether solvent such as THF at 50°-66° C. or the like, Equation 5. The primary amines (12, 13, 14, 15) individually were each protected as the t-butylcarbamate by reaction of the amine with a t-butyloxycarbonyl transfer reagent such as di-t-butylcarbonate and the like, Equation 6, giving 16, 17, 18, 19. 
     The BOC-protected aminoethylpyrrolidine (16-19) were subjected to varying de-α-methylbenzylations via hydrogenolysis using varying percentages of palladium on a inert support such as carbon, alumina, silica, or the like, preferably 20% palladium on carbon in an inert solvent such as methanol, ethanol, THF, or ethyl acetate. This provides the individual diastereomeric 3-(1&#39;-aminoethyl)pyrrolidines (20, 21, 22, 23), (Equation 7) in a protected form suitable for coupling with a quinolone or naphthyridone substrate. 
     The individual 3-(1&#39;-N,N-dimethylaminoethyl) pyrrolidines (32, 33, 34, 35) could be prepared by reacting the amine (8, 9, 10, 11) with paraformaldehyde in formic acid at an elevated temperature, preferably employing aqueous solutions of formaldehyde (20-80%, usually 35%) and aqueous formic acid (50-90%, usually 88%) beginning at 0°-5° C. and continuing at reflux temperature for 2-10 hours (preferably five hours). This provides the individual diastereomeric N,N-dimethylamines (24, 25, 26, 27), Equation 8. The carbonyl function of 24-27 was removed by reducing the pyrrolidin-5-one with a hydride reducing agent in an inert solvent. The preferred method was with lithium aluminum hydride in THF at reflux for 12-24 hours giving the pyrrolidines 28, 29, 30, 31, Equation 9. The 3-(1&#39;-N,N-dimethylaminoethyl)pyrrolidines (28-31) were de-α-methylbenzylated via hydrogenolysis using varying percentages of palladium on a inert support such as carbon, alumina, silica, or the like, preferably 20% palladium on carbon in an inert solvent such as methanol, ethanol, THF, or ethyl acetate. This provides the individual diastereomeric 3-(1&#39;-N,N-dimethylaminoethyl)pyrrolidines, 32, 33, 34, 35, (Equation 10) in a form suitable for coupling with a quinolone or naphthyridone substrate. 
     The 3-(1&#39;-N-ethylaminoethyl)pyrrolidines (44, 45, 46, 47) were prepared by reacting the amines (8, 9, 10, 11) with an acetyl transfer agent such as acetic anhydride or acetyl chloride or the like in the presence of an acid scavenger such as a tertiary amine including pyridine, lutidine, triethylamine and the like either with or without an inert solvent such as an ether or chlorocarbon in a temperature range of room temperature to the reflux temperature of the reaction mixture for 6-72 hours, preferable in acetic anhydride-pyridine 4/1 at ambient temperature for 12-24 hours to give the 3-(N-acetyl-1&#39;-aminoethyl)pyrrolidin-5-ones, 36, 37, 38, 39, Equation 11. The two amide functions of 36-39 were reduced by reacting the pyrrolidin-5-one with a hydride reducing agent in an inert solvent. The preferred method was with lithium aluminum hydride in THF at reflux for 12-24 hours giving the individual diastereomeric pyrrolidines, 40, 41, 42, 43, Equation 12. The individual diastereomeric 3-(1&#39;-N-ethylaminoethyl)-(1-α-methylbenzyl)pyrrolidines (40-43) were de-α-methylbenzylated via hydrogenolysis using varying percentages of palladium on an inert support such as carbon, alumina, silica, or the like, preferably 20% palladium on carbon in an inert solvent such as methanol, ethanol, THF, or ethyl acetate. This provides the individual 3-(1&#39;-N-ethylaminoethyl)pyrrolidines, 44, 45, 46, 47, (Equation 13) in a form suitable for coupling with a quinolone or naphthyridone substrate. 
     The 3-(N-t-butyloxycarbonyl-1&#39;-N-methylaminoethyl)pyrrolidines (60, 61, 62, 63) were prepared by reacting the amines (8-11) with a t-butyloxycarbonyl transfer agent such as di-t-butylcarbonate or t-butyloxycarbonyl chloride or the like in the presence of an acid scavenger such as a tertiary amine including pyridine, lutidine, triethylamine and the like either with or without an inert solvent such as an ether or chlorocarbon in a temperature range of room temperature to the reflux temperature of the reaction mixture for 6-72 hours, preferable in dichloromethane and di-t-butylcarbonate at ambient temperature for 12-24 hours to give the 3-(N-t-butyloxycarbonyl-1&#39;-aminoethyl)-1-(S-α-methylbenzyl)pyrrolidin-5-ones, 48, 49, 50, 51, Equation 14. The two amides were removed by reacting the pyrrolidin-5-ones (48-51) with a hydride reducing agent in an inert solvent. The preferred method was with lithium aluminum hydride in THF at reflux for 12-24 hours giving the individual diastereomeric pyrrolidines, 52, 53, 54, 55, Equation 15. The reduced pyrrolidines, 52-55, could be protected by reacting the 3-N-methyl-1&#39;-aminomethyl moiety with a t-butyloxycarbonyl transfer agent such as di-t-butylcarbonate or t-butyloxycarbonyl chloride or the like in the presence of an acid scavenger such as a tertiary amine including pyridine, lutidine, triethylamine and the like either with or without an inert solvent such as an ether or chlorocarbon in a temperature range of room temperature to the reflux temperature of the reaction mixture for 6-72 hours, preferably in dichloromethane and di-t-butyldicarbonate at ambient temperature for 12-24 hours to give the 1-(α-methylbenzyl)-3-(N-t-butyloxycarbonyl-1&#39;-N-methylaminoethyl)pyrrolidines, 56, 57, 58, 59, Equation 16. The 3-(N-t-butyloxycarbonyl-1&#39;-N-methylaminoethyl)pyrrolidines, 56-59 were de-α-methylbenzylated via hydrogenolysis using varying percentages of palladium on an inert support such as carbon, alumina, silica, or the like, preferably 20% palladium on carbon in an inert solvent such as methanol, ethanol, THF, or ethyl acetate. This provides the 3-(1&#39;-N-t-butoxycarbonyl-1&#39;-N-methylaminoethyl)pyrrolidines, 60, 61, 62, 63 (Equation 17) in a form suitable for coupling with a quinolone or naphthyridone nucleus. 
     The 3-(1&#39;-N-methylaminoethyl)pyrrolidines, 64-67, were prepared by the de-α-methylbenzylation, via hydrogenolysis using varying percentages of palladium on an inert support such as carbon, alumina, silica, or the like, preferably 20% palladium on carbon in an inert solvent such as methanol, ethanol, THF, or ethyl acetate, of the pyrrolidines, 52, 53, 54, 55, Equation 18. This provides the individual diastereomers 64, 65, 66, 67, 3-(1&#39;-N-methylaminoethyl)pyrrolidines (Equation 18) in a form suitable for coupling with a quinolone or naphthyridone substrate. 
     Alternatively, the 3-(1&#39;-aminoethyl)pyrrolidin-5-one (8 and 9) were reacted with methyl trifluoroacetate in an inert solvent or alternatively with trifluoroacetic anhydride in the presence of an acid acceptor such as triethylamine or pyridine or the like at 0° C. to ambient temperature to give the 3-(N-trifluoroacetyl-1&#39;-aminoethyl)pyrrolidin-5-ones, 68, Equation 19. These compounds were reacted with a hydrogen abstractor such as sodium hydride or a similar agent in an ether solvent such as THF followed by addition of a methylating agent like methyliodide to give the 3-(N-methyl-N-trifluoroacetyl-1&#39;-aminoethyl)pyrrolidin-5-one, 69, Equation 20. The trifluoroacetyl group could be removed by hydrolysis using aqueous hydroxide, Equation 21. The resulting compounds 70 could be reduced as described above. 
     The pyrrolidines prepared could be coupled to the appropriate quinolone or naphthyridone substrate by published procedures including; Domagala, et al., J. Medicinal Chemistry, 31, 503 (1988), Sanchez, et al., J. Medicinal Chemistry, 31, 983, (1988), Itawa, et al., European Patent Application 8702813.8 1987, and British Patent 2,011,395A. 
     A representative group of quinolones is shown in FIG. 1. ##STR15## 
     The enantiomeric quinolones and naphthyridones of the invention display potent antibacterial activity against gram negative and especially gram positive organisms both in vitro as well as in vivo. Their overall therapeutic advantages are also shown by including phototoxicity and cytotoxicity data as compared to compounds described in European Patent Publication 207,420. 
     The in vitro antibacterial activity, is obtained by the microtitration dilution method as described in Heifetz, et al., Antimicr. Agents &amp; Chemother., 6, 124 (1974), which is incorporated herein by reference. 
     The in vivo activity is obtained when the compounds are tested according to the procedure of Miller, et al (Proc. Soc. Exp. Biol. Med. 57, 261, 1944). The median protective dose (PD 50 ) was determined in mice given lethal systemic infections. Single doses of compound were given at time of challenge. 
     The phototoxicity data is obtained using depilated mice. The compound was administered orally each day for four successive days, followed each day by 3 hours of UVA radiation. The mice were examined for any positive signs (redness, erythema) relative to control animals. The no effect dose and the 50% effect dose were determined. 
     The cytotoxicity data is obtained using hamster V-79 cells. The cells were suspended in tissue culture medium and grown overnight. Cells were treated with drug for 3 hours, washed free of drug and then replated, and the colonies counted after 5 days. The concentration of drug that reduced colones by 50% relative to control was recorded. 
     By use of the above methods, the following minimum inhibiting concentration values (MICs in μg/mL), PD 50  &#39;s in mg/kg, no effect phototoxicity dose in mg/kg and the cytotoxicity IC 50  in μg/mL were obtained for representative enantiomers of the invention and compounds of the prior art as shown in the table. 
     The in vivo data as PD 50  s are reported below the line of MICs for the same compound.

     The compounds of the invention are capable of forming both pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition and/or base salts. Base salts are formed with metals or amines, such as alkali and alkaline earth metals or organic amines. Examples of metals used as cations are sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and the like. Also included are heavy metal salts such as for example silver, zinc, cobalt, and cerium. Such heavy metal salts are effective in the treatment of burns especially when applied to the affected surface of a burn victim either directly or in combination with a physiologically acceptable carrier such as a water dispersible, hydrophilic carrier. Examples of suitable amines are N,N&#39; dibenzylethylenediamine, chloroprocaine, choline, diethanolamine, ethylenediamine, N-methylglucamine, and procaine. 
     Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts are formed with organic and inorganic acids. 
     Examples of suitable acids for salt formation are hydrochloric, sulfuric, phosphoric, acetic, citric, oxalic, malonic, salicylic, malic, gluconic, fumaric, succinic, ascorbic, maleic, methanesulfonic, and the like. The salts are prepared by contacting the free base form with a sufficient amount of the desired acid to produce either a mono or di, etc. salt in the conventional manner. The free base forms may be regenerated by treating the salt form with a base. For example, dilute solutions of aqueous base may be utilized. Dilute aqueous sodium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, ammonia, and sodium bicarbonate solutions are suitable for this purpose. The free base forms differ from their respective salt forms somewhat in certain physical properties such as solubility in polar solvents, but the salts are otherwise equivalent to their respective free base forms for purposes of the invention. Use of excess base where R 2  is hydrogen gives the corresponding basic salt. 
     The compounds of the invention can exist in unsolvated as well as solvated forms, including hydrated forms. In general, the solvated forms, including hydrated forms and the like are equivalent to the unsolvated forms for purposes of the invention. 
     The compounds of the invention can be prepared and administered in a wide variety of oral, parenteral and topical dosage forms. It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that the following dosage forms may comprise as the active component, either a compound of formula I or a corresponding pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of formula I. 
     For preparing pharmaceutical compositions from the compounds described by this invention, inert, pharmaceutically acceptable carriers can be either solid or liquid. Solid form preparations include powders, tablets, dispersible granules, capsules, cachets, suppositories, and ointments. A solid carrier can be one or more substances which may also act as diluents, flavoring agents, solubilizers, lubricants, suspending agents, binders, or tablet-disintegrating agents; it can also be an encapsulating material. In powders, the carrier is a finely divided solid which is in admixture with the finely divided active compound. In the tablet the active compound is mixed with carrier having the necessary binding properties in suitable proportions and compacted in the shape and size desired. The powders and tablets preferably contain from 5 or 10 to about 70% of the active ingredient. Suitable solid carriers are magnesium carbonate, magnesium stearate, talc, sugar, lactose, pectin, dextrin, starch, gelatin, tragacanth, methyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, a low melting wax, cocoa butter, and the like. The term &#34;preparation&#34; is intended to include the formulation of the active compound with encapsulating material as carrier providing a capsule in which the active component (with or without other carriers) is surrounded by carrier, which is thus in association with it. Similarly, cachets are included. Tablets, powders, cachets, and capsules can be used as solid dosage forms suitable for oral administration. 
     Liquid form preparations include solutions suspensions and emulsions. An example may be water or water-propylene glycol solutions for parenteral injection. Such solutions are prepared so as to be acceptable to biological systems (isotonicity, Ph, etc.). Liquid preparations can also be formulated in solution in aqueous polyethylene glycol solution. Aqueous solutions suitable for oral use can be prepared by dissolving the active component in water and adding suitable colorants, flavors, stabilizing, and thickening agents as desired. Aqueous suspension suitable for oral use can be made by dispersing the finely divided active component in water with viscous material, i.e., natural or synthetic gums, resins, methyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, and other well-known suspending agents. 
     Ointment preparations contain heavy metal salts of a compound of formula I with a physiologically acceptable carrier. The carrier is desirably a conventional water-dispersible hydrophilic or oil-in-water carrier, particularly a conventional semi-soft or cream-like water-dispersible or water soluble, oil-in-water emulsion which may be applied to an affected burn surface or infected surface with a minimum of discomfort. Suitable compositions may be prepared by merely incorporating or homogeneously admixing finely divided compounds with the hydrophilic carrier or base or ointment. 
     Preferably, the pharmaceutical preparation is in unit dosage form. In such form, the preparation is subdivided into unit doses containing appropriate quantities of the active component. The unit dosage form can be a packaged preparation, the package containing discrete quantities of preparation, for example, packeted tablets, capsules, powders in vials or ampoules, and ointments in tubes or jars. The unit dosage form can also be a capsule, cachet, tablet, gel or cream itself or it can be the appropriate number of any of these packaged forms. 
     The quantity of active compound in a unit dose of preparation may be varied or adjusted from 1 mg to 100 mg according to the particular application and the potency of the active ingredient. 
     In therapeutic use as agents for treating bacterial infections, the compounds utilized in the pharmaceutical method of this invention are administered at the initial dosage of about 3 mg to about 40 mg per kilogram daily. A daily dose range of about 6 mg to about 14 mg per kilogram is preferred. The dosages, however, may be varied depending upon the requirements of the patient, the severity of the condition being treated, and the compound being employed. Determination of the proper dosage for a particular situation is within the skill of the art. Generally, treatment is initiated with smaller dosages which are less than the optimum dose of the compound. Thereafter, the dosage is increased by small increments until the optimum effect under the circumstances is reached. For convenience, the total daily dosage may be divided and administered in portions during the day if desired. 
     The following nonlimiting examples illustrate the inventors&#39; preferred methods for preparing the compounds of the invention.

     PREPARATION OF FINAL PRODUCTS 
     General Method for Coupling Pyrrolidines to the Appropriate Quinolone Nucleus and Removal of the BOC Group 
     To the substrate (1.40-3.30 mmol) in CH 3  CN (10-30 mL) was added triethylamine (1.10-1.40 eq) and the diastereomerically pure pyrrolidine (1.10-1.20 eq). The reaction was stirred at room temperature (0-96 hours) then warmed to reflux (6.5-48 hours). The reaction was cooled to room temperature, stirred (0-18 hours) and filtered. The filter pad was washed with CH 3  CN and/or ether, then air dried to give pure products as solids. 
     The amines were deprotected by one of three methods. 
     Method A: The protected quinolone (2.00-3.00 mmol) was dissolved in TFA (15.0 mL). After stirring one hour at 25° C., the reaction was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in a minimum amount of H 2  O. Fifty percent NaOH was added to make the pH of the solution equal to 12. The homogenous solution was filtered and the filtrate was acidified with 3 N HCl until the pH of the solution was equal to 8.3. The filtrate was filtered and the pad washed with a small amount of H 2  O and/or 0.50 N HCl. After drying, the solid was dissolved in concentrated HCl (14.0-40.0 mL). The acidic solution was centrifuged (little or no solid present) and the supernatant was concentrated to dryness. 
     Method B: The protected quinolone (1.80-3.50 mmol) was suspended in absolute EtOH (10.0-20.0 mL) and 1 N HCl (5.00-10.0 mL). The reaction was warmed to reflux and became homogeneous after a short period of time. After refluxing 2-5 hours, the reaction was allowed to cool to room temperature. After 3-18 hours, any solid formed was obtained by filtration. The pad was washed sequentially with H 2  O and/or EtOH or IPA then ether. After drying, pure product was obtained. Additional pure material could be obtained from the filtrate. If, after stirring at room temperature, no solid had formed, the reaction was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was triturated with IPA and the solid which formed was filtered, washed with isopropanol and then ether to provide the desired product. 
     Method C: Hydrogen chloride gas was bubbled during 3-5 minutes through a solution of the N-Boc protected compound (2.5 mmol) in dichloromethane (40 mL). A small amount of methanol was added to the reaction mixture to dissolve the material that precipitated out, and the resulting solution was stirred at room temperature for 15-20 hours. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was dissolved in hot methanol and crystallized by the addition of ether. The solid was filtered, washed with ether, and dried to provide the desired product.
