Abstract
Using catalase as a source of heme, we have developed both clear plate
and broth media for the growth of Haemophilus ducreyi, the causative
agent of chancroid. In the broth medium, the growth phase of the organ
ism can be monitored and the organisms achieve a cell density of >10(8
) CFU/ml.
