What result does pseudomonas aeruginosa have on a urease test?

Pseudomonas aeruginosa typically shows negative results on a urease test, as it does not produce urease enzyme. This means it does not break down urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide, resulting in no change in pH and no color change in the test medium.

What is the pH of urea agar after hydrolysis?

The pH of urea agar after hydrolysis is around 8-9. Urea is hydrolyzed by urease-producing bacteria to form ammonia and carbon dioxide, raising the pH of the agar medium. This increase in pH is often used as a diagnostic test to identify urease-positive organisms.
