UREA AGAR BASE (CHRISTENSEN)

Urea Agar Base Media is a slight modification of Christensen formulation and is recommended by BIS for identification of urease activity. Rustigian and Stuart had originally formulated a medium to detect urease activity. These media differentiate between rapid urease positive Proteus species and other urease positive organisms like Citrobacter, Enterobacter and Klebsiella and the bacteria other than Enterobacteriaceae.

for detection of urease production, particularly by Proteus vulgaris, Micrococci & paracolon organisms
