Urease production from clinical isolates of beta-hemolytic Escherichia coli.

R J Lesher, W H Jones
PMCID: PMC275244  PMID: 359596

Abstract

Twenty-four lactose-fermenting, urease-producing strains of beta-hemolytic Escherichia coli were isolated from a variety of clinical material. All isolates were indole positive, citrate negative, and produced the characteristic green metallic sheen on eosin-methylene blue agar.
