Abstract
Enriched Columbia medium was tested against Levinthal medium for the i solation of Haemophilus influenzae type b. In both media, Haemophilus influenzae type b recovery and antigen-antibody precipitation halos we re equivalent. Haemophilus influenzae type b colony size and iridescen ce were superior on enriched Columbia medium. Enriched Columbia medium is inexpensive, simply prepared and easily standardised.
