일반 설명Ticarcillin was synthesized by Beecham Research Laboratories in 1971. The phenyl residue of carbenicillin was replaced by the 3-thienyl moiety. Ticarcillin shows almost the same activity as carbenicillin against gram-positive bacteria and a twofold higher activity against gram-negative bacteria. Its in vivo activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in mice is fourfold higher than that of sulbenicillin. Ticarcillin is used to treat sepsis, urinary tract infections, and serious Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Proteus, and Enterobacter infections in leukemic and other cancer patients.
