尿素酶试验在鉴别沙门氏菌的时候很重要。
This image depicts negative and positive results when testing for bacterial
production of urease. The negative tube contains Salmonella, while the positive
was inoculated with Proteus(变形杆菌).Urease, an enzyme produced by some organisms,
splits urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide. Ammonia, which is alkaline, causes
the pH to rise. Phenol red, a pH indicator present in urea broth, turns cerise
when the pH rises above 8.1. This slide may be used in a discussion of microbial
metabolism as a tool for identifying microorganisms and/or distinguishing
between intestinal pathogens (e.g., Salmonella) and nonpathogens (e.g.,
Proteus).
The age of the culture is 24 h.
