ii. An inoculating needle or loop, or sterile applicator stick, or tooth pick is used to [?] from the surface of HIA, KIA, TSI, or other nonselective agar medium.
iii. Emulsify the growth in a small drop of physiological saline and mix thoroughly by tilting back and forth for about 30 seconds. Examine the suspension carefully to ensure that it is even and does not show clumping due to [?]. If clumping occurs, the culture is termed [?] and cannot be serotyped.
iv. Add a small drop of [?] to the suspension. Usually approximately equal volumes of antiserum and growth suspension are mixed, but the volume of [?] may be as much as double the volume of the antiserum.
v. Mix the suspension and antiserum well and then [?] back and forth to observe for agglutination.
