Haemophilus influenzae is best cultured on enriched media such as chocolate agar, which provides the necessary factors for growth, including hemin (factor X) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD, factor V). Additionally, it can be grown in media supplemented with blood or in specialized media like H. influenzae agar. Incubation in a humid atmosphere with increased CO2 levels can enhance growth.
