SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to new [(oxyalkyl)thioacetyl]cephalosporin derivatives having the formula ##STR1## R represents hydrogen, lower alkyl, phenyl-lower alkyl, tri(lower alkyl)silyl, a salt forming ion or the group ##STR2## R.sub.1 represents hydrogen, lower alkyl, phenyl, thienyl or furyl; R.sub.2 and R.sub.6 each represents hydrogen or lower alkyl; R.sub.3 and R.sub.5 each represents lower alkyl, phenyl or phenyl-lower alkyl; and R.sub.4 represents hydrogen, hydroxy, lower alkanoyloxy, lower alkoxy or lower alkylthio. The especially preferred members within each group are as follows: R is hydrogen, alkali metal, diphenylmethyl or ##STR3## especially hydrogen, pivaloyloxy, sodium or potassium; R.sub.1 is hydrogen or phenyl; R.sub.2 is hydrogen; R.sub.3 is lower alkyl, especially methyl; R.sub.4 is hydrogen or acetoxy; and R.sub.5 is methyl or t-butyl. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The various groups represented by the symbols have the meanings defined below and these definitions are retained throughout this specification. The lower alkyl groups are the straight and branched chain hydrocarbon groups in the series from methyl to heptyl, the C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 groups and especially methyl and ethyl being generally preferred. The lower alkoxy and lower alkylthio groups are of the same type and the same preferences apply. The lower alkanoyloxy groups represented by R.sub.4 include the acyl radicals of lower fatty acids containing alkyl radicals of the type described above, e.g., acetoxy, propionoxy, butyryloxy, etc., the C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 members being preferred and acetoxy being especially preferred. The phenyl-lower alkyl radicals include a phenyl ring attached to a lower alkyl group of the kind described above like benzyl and phenethyl as well as those containing two phenyl groups such as diphenylmethyl. The salt forming ions represented by R are metal ions, e.g., alkali metal ions such as sodium or potassium, alkaline earth metal ions such as calcium or magnesium or an amine salt ion, e.g., a (lower alkyl)amine like methylamine or triethylamine. The new [(oxyalkyl)thioacetyl)cephalosporin derivatives of this invention are produced by reacting a 7-aminocephalosporanic acid compound, e.g., 7-aminocephalosporanic acid (7-ACA), 7-amino-3-desacetoxycephalosporanic acid (7-ADCA) and other derivatives, having the formula ##STR4## or derivatives thereof with an [(oxyalkyl)thio]acetic acid of the formula ##STR5## or an acid halide, anhydride including mixed anhydrides, activated esters or the like. The derivatives of II referred to include, for example, the triethylamine derivative, benzhydryl ester or the like. The acid halide of III is preferably the chloride. Coupling agents like dicyclohexylcarbodiimide or the like can also be used. A preferred method is the reaction between the 7-aminocephalosporanic acid compound and the [(oxyalkyl)-thio]acetic acid, for example, by dissolving or suspending the latter in an inert organic solvent such as chloroform, tetrahydrofuran, methylene chloride, dioxane, benzene or the like, and adding, at a reduced temperature of about 0.degree. to -20.degree. C about an equimolar amount of the 7-ACA or 7-ADCA compound, preferably in the form of its diphenylmethyl ester, in the presence of an activating compound such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. The product of the reaction is then isolated by conventional procedures, e.g., by filtration and concentration or evaporation of the solvent. The diphenylmethyl ester is converted to the free acid, e.g., with trifluoroacetic acid and anisole. Any of the salts can then be produced by conventional treatment, e.g., with potassium ethyl hexanoate, sodium bicarbonate or the like. Another preferred method involves the reaction of a 7-aminocephalosporanic acid compound with the acid halide of the [(oxyalkyl)thio]acetic acid in aqueous alkaline medium. When R is the acyloxymethyl group ##STR6## this group may be introduced into the 7-aminocephalosporanic acid moiety prior to the reaction with the [(oxyalkyl)thio]-acetic acid or derivative by treatment with one to two moles of a halomethyl ester of the formula ##STR7## wherein hal is halogen, preferably chlorine or bromine, in an inert organic solvent such as dimethylformamide, acetone, dioxane, benzene or the like, at about ambient temperature or below. The [(oxyalkyl)thio]acetic acid of formula III is produced by reacting a mercaptoacetic acid of the formula ##STR8## with a halogenated compound of the formula ##STR9## in the presence of a base like triethylamine in a solvent like tetrahydrofuran and then hydrolyzing the ester formed in the process. Alternatively, when the acid halide is used to react with the 7-aminocephalosporanic acid compound, an alkoxide R.sub.3 -OMe (wherein Me is a metal like sodium or potassium) is made to react with a haloester of the formula ##STR10## to obtain the intermediate of the formula ##STR11## Treatment with a base, e.g., an alkali metal hydroxide like potassium hydroxide, converts the ester to a salt which is then converted to the acid chloride with a halogenating agent like oxalyl chloride. Further process details are provided in the illustrative examples. Certain of the compounds of this invention may exist in different optically active forms. The various stereoisomeric forms as well as the racemic mixtures are within the scope of the invention. The compounds of this invention have a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity against both gram positive and gram negative organisms such as Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella schottmuelleri, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus vulgaris, Escherichia coli and Streptococcus pyrogenes. They can be used as antibacterial agents to combat infections due to organisms such as those named above, and in general may be utilized in a manner similar to cephradine and other cephalosporins. For example, a compound of formula I or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof can be used in various animal species in an amount of about 1 to 150 mg/kg, daily, orally or parenterally, in single or two to four divided doses to treat infections of bacterial origin, e.g., 7.0 mg/kg is used in mice. Up to about 600 mg. of a compound of formula I or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof is incorporated in an oral dosage form such as tablets, capsules or elixirs or in an injectable form in a sterile aqueous vehicle prepared according to conventional pharmaceutical practice.
