Differentiate microorganisms on the basis of urease activity with InMicro® Prepared: Urea Agar. Christensen developed this medium to help in differentiation of rapid urea-positive Proteus spp. from other urea-positive enteric gram-negative bacilli. This medium allows for urease activity to be demonstrated in organisms which have more complex nitrogen requirements. The medium can also be used to determine urease activity of non-enteric gram-negative bacilli, such as Brucella and Bordetella and to differentiate Cryptococcus and other yeasts.
Urea Agar is used to detect rapid urease activity of the Proteae and non-rapid urease activity of some Enterobacteriaceae. Urea Agar is a lightly buffered medium that contains urea and phenol red, a pH indicator. When organisms utilize urea, ammonia is formed which changes the pH of the medium to alkaline.
- Ready to use – Convenience of prepared media.
- Easy to interpret – Intense pink-red color development indicates a positive test.
Urea Agar contains urea as a substrate to detect urease activity. Gelatin peptone promotes rapid growth of many enteric gram-negative bacilli, permitting a decrease in incubation time. Dextrose helps eliminate false-negative reactions and stimulates urease activity in those organisms which hydrolyze urea slowly. Sodium chloride provides electrolytes and monopotassium phosphate acts as a buffer. Phenol red is a pH indicator that changes color from pale-yellow to pink-red in an alkaline environment. Agar is the solidifying agent.
