Pharmacology: | Ticarcillin is a semisynthetic antibiotic with a broad spectrum of bactericidal activity against many gram-positive and gram-negative aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. Ticarcillin is, however, susceptible to degradation by ß-lactamases, and therefore, the spectrum of activity does not normally include organisms which produce these enzymes. |
Mechanism of Action: | Ticarcillin's antibiotic properties arise from its ability to prevent cross-linking of peptidoglycan during cell wall synthesis when the bacteria tries to divide, causing death. |
Protein binding: | 45% |
Half Life: | 1.1 hours |
Toxicity: | As with other penicillins, neurotoxic reactions may arise when very high doses of ticarcillin are administered, especially in patients with impaired renal function. |
Affected organisms: | Enteric bacteria and other eubacteria |
Drug interaction: |
