[Selective culture media for Haemophilus bacteria]

A selectivity factor was specified to the previously developed nutrient medium meant for the cultivation of Haemophilus bacteria--CAE, which is based on the acid hydrolysate of casein, enzyme hydrolysate of animal blood (aminopeptide) and an extract of nutrient yeast. The above nutrient medium containing additionally growth factors V and X, glucose and bacitracin was shown to fit well for the primary sowing of Haemophilus bacteria and it can be used in diagnostic examinations.
