Ticarcillin is a β-Lactam antibiotic that prevents bacterial cell wall biosynthesis at the level of peptidogylcan cross-linking by inhibiting peptidoglycan transpeptidases. It is derived from penicillin and is similar to carbenicillin in action. Ticarcillin is susceptible to degradation by ß-lactamases.
