Licensure of a Group B streptococcus (GBS) polysaccharide-protein conjugate vaccine for protecting infants against invasive GBS disease (IGbsD) will likely need to be based on demonstrating vaccine safety in pregnant women, and benchmarking immunogenicity against a serological threshold associated with risk reduction of IGbsD. We investigated the association between naturally-derived GBS serotype-Ia and III IgG and risk reduction of IGbsD in infants' ≤90 days of age. In a matched case-control study (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02215226), IGbsD cases were identified from a cohort of 38,233 mother-newborn dyads. Mothers colonized vaginally with serotype-Ia or III at birth, and their healthy infants were eligible as matched controls. GBS serotype-specific anti-capsular IgG was measured on maternal and cord blood/infant sera by multiplex Luminex assay; and the IgG threshold associated with 90% risk reduction of IGbsD derived by estimating absolute disease risk. In infants born ≥34 weeks gestational age, cord-blood IgG geometric mean concentrations (GMC) were lower in cases than controls for serotype-Ia (0.05 vs. 0.50µg/ml; p=0.004) and III (0.20 vs. 0.38µg/ml; p=0.078). Cord-blood IgG concentration ≥1.04 and ≥1.53µg/ml were associated with 90% risk reduction of serotype-Ia and III IGbsD, respectively. The maternal sera IgG threshold associated with 90% risk reduction was ≥2.31 and ≥3.41µg/ml for serotype-Ia and III, respectively. The threshold associated with a reduced risk for serotype-Ia and III IGbsD identified on infant sera supports the case for licensure of a GBS polysaccharide-protein conjugate vaccine based on immunogenicity evaluation benchmarked against the defined thresholds.
