Correction of Figure 3 Legend Title

Posted by lnardissone on 17 Mar 2014 at 17:34 GMT

The title of Figure 3 legend does not describe Figure 3.
The current title is "Inflammatory marker S100A12 was correlated with gestational age."
It should read "Meconium microbiome correlations with gestational age and mode of delivery."
