Must strains of Haemophilus spp does not grow on 5% Sheep Blood Agar, which contains hemin (factor X) but lacks NAD (factor V).
Staphylococcus aureus produce NAD as a metabolic byproduct when grow in a culture media. Therefore, Haemophilus spp may grow on sheep blood agar very close to the colonies of Staphylococcus aureus (as it produces NAD-factor V); this phenomenon is known as satellitism

Answer / lukash adhikari
Hemophilus influenza needs special additional nutrients in media i.e Factor X(heme) and factor V (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). So this factor is provided in chocolate agar which is obtained after heating blood agar.. Also H.influenza is grown along with S.aures which provide NAD so H.influenza grows near it resembling like a satelight...SATELITISM property or colony
