Abstract

The authors wish to correct an improper bacterial species designation in the original article. Post publication, whole genome sequencing and targeted rpoB sequencing revealed that “S. epidermidis RN and S. epidermidis RN TC” are actually Staphylococcus capitis. Thus, all utilizations of “S. epidermidis RN and S. epidermidis RN TC” in the article should be replaced with “S. capitis RN” and “S. capitis RN TC”, respectively.
