Urea Agar is a differential medium for members of the Enterobacteriaceae on the basis of their ability to produce urease.


  • Peptone and dextrose provide nutrients
  • Reduced buffer content helps promote rapid growth
  • Utilized urea produces ammonia


When organisms utilize urea, ammonia is formed during incubation, which makes the reaction of these media alkaline, producing a pink-red color. Consequently, urease production may be detected by the change in the phenol red indicator.
