Abstract
Chocolate agar containing lincomycin (5.mu.g/ml) was used for the isolation of Haemophilus strains. Haemophilus strains (100) of 3 spp. [H. influenzae, H. parainfluenzae and H. parahaemolyticus] grew well on selective plates, whereas Gram-positive bacteria failed to form colonies on them. The selective culture proved especially advantageous when throat swabs were examined.
