optimal nutrient growth agar containing blood
Explanation:
At first I was going to suggest "nourishment"; I suppose you could use "media" instead of "agar", but the medium is usually referred to as agar (though I've even seen "agar media". Es kommt mir so vor, als wenn ein Komma fehlen würden... :-)

Sorry, about mixing up the languages, but the last sentence should\'ve ended with \"würde\" and I\'m missing a bracket before the first period. ;-)

I would NOT put \"blood\" at the beginning - I think it would read as though the samples were being put in blood containing nutritious media, not in nutritious media containing blood (like is meant). ;-)

Note: online dictionaries translate \"bluthaltige\" to be \"hemorrhagic\" or \"hemorrhoidal\", but I don\'t think those fit here...

the most suitable nutrient media, containing blood


Explanation:
How about something along the lines of: "Each sample was spread across an Enterobacterium-selective agar, also across a medium designed to detect hæmophilic bacteria, these nutrient media, which contain blood, being the most suitable."
The 'Enterobacterium' will need to be italicised.
