Many bacteria have developed a resistance to this antibiotic by producing Beta-lactamase , which inactivates it. Therefore, all modern ticarcillin includes Clavulanic Acid , an inbibitor of these enzymes. In molecular biology, ticarcillin is used to as an alternative to Ampicillin to test the uptake of Marker Genes into bacteria. It prevents the appearance of satellite colonies that occur when ampicillin breaks down in the media. It is also used in plant molecular biology to kill Agrobacterium , which is used to deliver genes to plant cells. Chemically, ticarcillin is C15H16N2O6S2 (CAS number 34787-01-4). It is provided as a white or pale yellow powder. It is highly soluble in water, but should only be dissolved immediately prior to use to prevent degradation. |
