In this Article, two references1,2 discussing odilorhabdins were inadvertently omitted. The statement “Several dozen compounds with antimicrobial properties have been isolated from nematophilic bacteria, but these do not hit specific targets or do not appear to have drug-like properties” has been changed to “Several dozen compounds with antimicrobial properties have been isolated from nematophiles, but only the odilorhabins (produced by Xenorhabdus nematophila) hit a specific target and show efficacy in certain animal models of infection”, and the two new references have been added as references 34 and 35 at the end of the new sentence. The subsequent references have been renumbered accordingly.
