Intravenous ticarcillin therapy has been associated with mild and transient serum aminotransferase elevations that were generally self-limited and only slightly more common with ticarcillin than with comparative antibiotics. Much more commonly reported were instances of anicteric hepatic injury from carbenicillin, a similar carboxypenicillin with extend coverage against Pseudomonas. Persons receiving high doses of intravenous carbenicillin not uncommonly (15% to 30%) developed serum aminotransferase elevations without jaundice, which promptly fell to normal with discontinuation or switching to another antibiotic. Recurrence is common with retreatment using carbenicillin, but not with ticarcillin. A similar phenomenon occurs with intravenous oxacillin. Rare instances of idiosyncratic, clinically apparent cholestatic liver injury have been reported in persons receiving ticarcillin in combination with clavulanate, some of which resemble the rare idiosyncratic reactions that can occur with many penicillins and which resemble the cholestatic liver injury that occurs after amoxicillin/clavulanate.

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.

Ticarcillin's principal mechanism of action revolves around its capacity to prevent the cross-linking of peptidoglycan during bacterial cell wall synthesis. Consequently, when the offending bacteria attempt to undergo cell division, cell death occurs.
