Overview
Ticarcillin is a carboxypenicillin. It is almost invariably sold and used in combination with clavulanate as Ticarcillin/clavulanic acid-TIMENTIN. Because it is a penicillin, it also falls within the larger class of beta-lactam antibiotics. Its main clinical use is as an injectable antibiotic for the treatment of gram-negative bacteria, particularly Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It is also one of the few antibiotics capable of treating Stenotrophomonas maltophilia infections.
