Intended Use
Urea Agar and Urease Test Broth are used for the differentiation of organisms, especially the Enterobacteriaceae, on the basis of urease production.

Summary and Explanation
Urea Agar was devised by Christensen for use as a solid medium for the differentiation of enteric bacilli. 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 spp.

The base is also supplied as a filter-sterilized 10× concentrated solution in tubes for use in preparing Urea Agar slants in the laboratory.

Urease Test Broth was developed by Rustigian and Stuart. It may be used for the identification of bacteria on the basis of urea utilization and it is particularly recommended for the differentiation of members of the genus Proteus from those of Salmonella and Shigella in the diagnosis of enteric infections. The medium is positive for Proteus, Morganella morganii subsp. morganii, Providencia rettgeri, and a few Providencia stuartii
strains with the reclassification of the members of the Proteeae.
Urease base is also supplied as a filter sterilized 10× concentrated solution for use in preparing Urease Test Broth in the laboratory.
