Proteus mirabilis is positive for the urea test, meaning it can hydrolyze urea, producing ammonia and raising the pH of the medium, causing a color change. This is due to the presence of the enzyme urease in Proteus mirabilis.
Bacteria that are positive for the urease test include Helicobacter pylori, Proteus mirabilis, and certain species of Klebsiella and Staphylococcus. This test measures the ability of bacteria to hydrolyze urea, producing ammonia and increasing the pH of the medium, which changes its color.
Genus proteus is know for their fast hydrolysis of urea into ammonia. In presence of proteus the agar slant quickly turns pink (positve) while known proteus would be yellowish. The pink color is a sign of alkaline presence and the increase of pH (7-8.5) and phenol red is the pH color indicator. http://www.microbelibrary.org/Laboratory%20Diagnostics/details.asp?id=457&Lang=
The principle of the Sodium hypobromite test for urea is based on the reaction between urea and sodium hypobromite, which results in the formation of nitrogen gas. Urea is hydrolyzed to form ammonia and carbon dioxide, which react with sodium hypobromite to liberate nitrogen gas that can be detected by its characteristic effervescence. This test is used to detect the presence of urea in a sample.
Proteus urease is considered a positive organisim. This occurs when enterics hydrolyze urea and cause a rapid deterioation. This term is also referred to as rapid urease positive organisms.
Urea clearance test. Urea is a waste product that is created by protein metabolism and excreted in the urine. The urea clearance test requires a blood sample to measure the amount of urea in the bloodstream and two urine specimens,

Proteus vulgaris is a bacterium that fits this description. It is indole negative, urea positive, methyl red positive, hydrogen sulfide positive, and lactose negative. These characteristics are used in biochemical tests to help classify and identify different bacteria species.
When determining the ability of a bacteria to degrade urea by means of the enzyme urease. To diagnose H. pylori and identification of the genus Proteus, Providentia, Kelbsiella, and Morganella by their fast urease activity.
phenol red act as the pH indicator. As the substrate urea is split into products, the presence of ammonia caused alkaline environment that cause the phenol red to turn to deep pink. Useful to test Proteus vulgaris.

Most often, fasting is not required for an urea electrolytes creatinine (UEC) blood test. However, it is always best to follow the specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider or the testing facility to ensure accurate results.
when urea is treated with sodium hypobromite it decomposes to give N2
BUN stands for Blood Urea Nitrogen. It is a test that measures the amount of nitrogen in your blood that comes from the waste product urea. This test is often used to evaluate kidney function.
It is urease positive .It possesses the enzymes urease which hydrolyses urea to form ammonia. As a result the pH of the medium used for detection of urease enzyme (Urea Broth) increases and shows bright pink colour, since phenol red is bright pink in alkaline conditions.
