Information correction of bacteria source and two typing errors by authors.

Posted by ShiouLingLu on 11 Sep 2019 at 02:48 GMT

We apologize for that one information was missing in the Material & method section: Bacterial culture: JRS4 (type M6) wild type and slo mutant strains were the same ones as in our previous study (Nakagawa I. et al., 2004, Science), not from Professor J. J. Wu.
In addition, there are two typing errors: The M protein of JRS4 strain belongs to M6 serotype, therefore its gene name should be emm6 but not emm1 in the main text Result paragraph 3 line 2, and Figure 1D data labeling. The other typing error is in figure 1E data labeling: gene should be hasA but not husA.

We deeply apologize for these errors.
