B) Varicella zoster virus? What is this, a test for veterinarians? Ticarcillin is for bacteria, not viruses!

C) Myocardial infarction? Really? I don't think ticarcillin has anything to do with heart attacks. This exam is trying to trick us!

Actually, ticarcillin is also effective against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, so it's not just for Streptococcus pneumoniae.

I'm going with E) Bone marrow failure states. That sounds like the kind of thing ticarcillin might be used for, even if it's still investigational.

Ticarcillin is an antibiotic, so the correct answer has to be A) Streptococcus pneumoniae. That's a common bacterial infection that ticarcillin is used to treat.
