A method for preventing or treating a respiratory condition associated with one or more bacterial infectious agents in a subject, the method comprising:
- administering to the respiratory tract a composition comprising a soluble TLR2 moiety comprising a TLR2 agonist and a solubilizing agent that increases the solubility of the TLR2 agonist in polar or aqueous solvents,
- wherein the moiety does not raise an immune response in the subject that is specific for an antigen of the one or more infectious agents,
- wherein the composition does not contain a peptide antigen comprising a T-helper epitope,
- thereby preventing or treating the respiratory condition in the subject.
