Urea Agar is used for the differentiation of organisms, especially the Enterobacteriaceae, on the basis of urease production. Supplied 10 tubes per pack.
Urea Agar was devised by Christensen for use as a solid medium for the differentiation of enteric bacilli.1 It differentiates between rapid urease-positive Proteeae organisms (Proteus spp., Morganella morganii subsp. morganii, Providencia rettgeri, and some Providencia stuartii) and other urease-positive organisms: Citrobacter, Enterobacter and Klebsiella and bacteria other than Enterobacteriaceae; i.e., some Bordetella and Brucella species.2
The base is also supplied as a filter-sterilized 10X concentrated solution in tubes for use in preparing Urea Agar slants in the user's laboratory.
