Abstract
We examined naturally acquired antibodies to pneumococcal vaccine candidate proteins PhtB and PhtE in children during their first 2 years of life. Prior culture-confirmed pneumococcal exposure was shown to induce the development of anti-PhtB and -PhtE antibodies. The anti-PhtB or -PhtE antibody concentrations were not significantly associated with a decreased risk of subsequent pneumococcal acute otitis media.Entities:
