Competing Interests
Two co-authors are employed by the Department of Defense. MJD is a Professor at the Uniformed Services University Health Sciences. Dr. Daly participated in all aspects of the project but he and his University have no control over funding. HNM is a Program Officer at one of the two funding agencies, DTRA. Dr. Meeks played a role in the conceptualization of the overarching research aims, in the analysis and interpretation of the data, and in manuscript editing. Dr. Meeks has no role in decisions regarding funding these types of applications that are submitted to DTRA. The two funding agencies provided support in the form of salaries for all authors with the exception of MJD who is a fully-funded Professor at USUHS and HNM who is a fully-funded employee at DTRA. The specific roles of these authors are articulated in the ‘author contributions’ section. The commercial nature of Biological Mimetics, Inc. does not alter our adherence to PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
