Carbenicillin is a broad-spectrum, beta-lactam penicillin antibiotic historically used mainly for treatment of infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other Gram-negative bacteria. It has been largely replaced by other agents such as ticarcillin and piperacillin, but may still be used in certain cases. Carbenicillin is not widely used today due to the availability of more effective and less toxic alternatives.
