The neglected role of antibody in protection against bacteremia caused by nontyphoidal strains of Salmonella in African children

Nontyphoidal strains of Salmonella (NTS) are a common cause of bacteremia among African children. Cell-mediated immune responses control intracellular infection, but they do not protect against extracellular growth of NTS in the blood. We investigated whether antibody protects against NTS bacteremia...
