ticarcilín
Ticarcillin is a penicillin-class antibiotic effective against a broad spectrum of bacteria. It is a semisynthetic carboxypenicillin that functions by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. Ticarcillin is typically administered intravenously or intramuscularly. It is often combined with clavulanic acid, a beta-lactamase inhibitor, to extend its spectrum of activity to include bacteria that produce beta-lactamase enzymes, which would otherwise inactivate ticarcillin.
This combination, known as ticarcillin/clavulanic acid, is used to treat a variety of infections, including those
Ticarcillin itself is susceptible to hydrolysis by beta-lactamases. Common side effects of ticarcillin include hypersensitivity reactions,
