  • The PLOS ONE Staff

The Acknowledgments section is missing from this paper. The Acknowledgments sections is: This work was performed in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the M.Sc. degree for LMG.

The following text, which appears as the fifth paragraph of the Results, should not be included in the Results, but instead in the Table 1 legend: “The State of Israel was divided into four main areas for sewage sampling; Haifa district in the north, Central district including Tel-Aviv and the Shafdan-STF, Jerusalem City in the East and the South district. Each district was divided to sub-districts. The boundaries and population size are mentioned for each sampling site. The number and percentage of positive samples for pan-resistant bacteria; CRE (blaKPC and blaNDM-1), MRSA and VRE out of the number of samplings analyzed is indicated.

All geographical coordinates were done using "Google maps" (https://www.google.co.il/maps).

# Haifa sampled twice in the same location therefore no percentage is presented.

* According to Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) Israel 2012.

** Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Ramat-Gan, Bnei-Brak, Giv'atayim, Petah-Tikva, Giv'at-Shmuel, Kiryat-Ono, Tel-HaShomer, Ramat Ef'al, Azur, Bat-Yam, Holon, Rishon- Lezion and Rehovot”
