Abstract
Three rapid methods (spot test, disk, and tube) for detecting urease production in anaerobic bacteria yielded results faster than the conventional method. The results were more consistent with the disk and tube methods than with the spot test. Blood agar plate growth gave more consistent results than growth from chopped-meat slants.
