Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; DTaP/IPV, diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis and inactivated poliovirus vaccine; GMT, geometric mean titer; hSBA, serum bactericidal assay using human complement.

an = number of participants with a valid and determinate hSBA titer result for the given strain. There were 637 participants in the bivalent rLP2086 immunogenicity population, including 307 participants in the bivalent rLP2086 + DTaP/IPV group and 330 participants in the saline + DTaP/IPV group.

bCIs are back transformations of CIs based on the Student t test distribution for the mean logarithm of the hSBA titers.

cSera from approximately 50% of the participants from each vaccination group were tested in hSBAs for strains A22 and B24, and sera from the remaining 50% of the participants were tested for strains A56 and B44.
