The authors incorrectly denoted ATCC 25923 as a methicillin resistant control strain in the penultimate sentence of the Antibiotic Susceptibility (Disc Diffusion, Micro-Broth Dilution) subsection of the Methods. The correct sentence is: ATCC 29213 (methicillin sensitive control strain) and ATCC 25923 (a strain used as a control in some antibiotic susceptibility testing, not methicillin resistant) were used as a control for micro broth dilution and disk diffusion assay, respectively.

The authors would like to acknowledge the importance of using a genuinely positive MRSA control strain in phenotypic testing and interpreting results.

There are errors in Table 1. The authors have amended the data to correct their dilution series and reflect the actual concentrations used. The authors apologize for the errors in the table. Please see the correct Table 1 here.
