Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chocolate agar is a type of nonselective enriched medium which is used to grow fastidious bacteria, especially in the diagnosis of infections caused by Haemophilus influenzae.

The term “enriched” refers to the addition of blood, vitamins, and other growth factors to the medium, which provide the necessary nutrients for bacterial growth.
