Seroconversion was defined as a fourfold or greater rise in the titer of NtAbs in comparisons of the acute- and convalescent-phase sera. The GMTs for the strains indicated in the boxheads are shown sequentially in the body of the table. The G and P serotypes of the reference strains are as follows: for Wa (G1, P1A), for S2 (G2, P1B), for P (G3, P1A), and for ST3 (G4, P2A).
