Also known as Monapen, (2S,5R,6R)-6-{[(2R)-2-carboxy-2-thiophen-3-ylacetyl]amino}-3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-4-thia-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylic acid, Ticarcillin supplement, alpha-Carboxy-3-thienylmethylpenicillin, Ticillin, Ticar, Ticarcilina, Ticarcilline

Ticarcillin is a carboxypenicillin. It can be sold and used in combination with clavulanate as ticarcillin/clavulanic acid. Because it is a penicillin, it also falls within the larger class of β-lactam antibiotics. Its main clinical use is as an injectable antibiotic for the treatment of Gram-negative bacteria, particularly Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Proteus vulgaris. It is also one of the few antibiotics capable of treating Stenotrophomonas maltophilia infections.
