Additional Information for Urea Agar Culture Medium
Urea Agar Culture Medium is a type of culture medium used in microbiology laboratories for the detection and identification of bacteria that can produce the enzyme urease. Urease is an enzyme that breaks down urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide. The presence of urease-positive bacteria can be determined by observing the change in pH of the medium, as the production of ammonia raises the pH.
Urea Agar Culture Medium is commonly used to differentiate between different species of bacteria, particularly in the identification of members of the Enterobacteriaceae family. It is also used in the identification of Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium associated with gastric ulcers and other gastrointestinal diseases.
