I believe that is how it would do it, if it does. But since a tick can survive a year or so without eating, I don't wee how doing that could cause the tick to die quickly. Maybe digestion requires the tick to produce something (an enzyme maybe), and when the bacteria are dead and disallow disgestion, it looses its source of energy and dies.
