This Article contains an error in the Material and Methods section under the subheading ‘Culture and Identification of Fungal Colonies’,

“DNA extraction was performed following the method described in detail in the Fungal DNA Isolation Section, and 4 μl were amplified by PCR using primers targeting the 18S rRNA gene (forward: 5′-GTAGTCATATGCTTGTCTC; and reverse: 5′-CCATTCCCCGTTACCCGTTG); and the ribosomal Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) region, using ITS1F: 5′-GCTGCAACCATGGACTGGAT50; and 5.8 R: 5′-TCRATGGTGAAGTCAACGTG51 primers.”

should read:
