New selective medium for the isolation of Haemophilus species.
Chocolate agar containing lincomycin (5 micrograms/ml) was used for the isolation of haemophilus strains. One-hundred haemophilus strains of 3 species grew well on selective plates, whereas Gram-positive bacterial failed to form colonies on them. The selective culture proved especially advantageous when throat swabs were examined.
