The authors of the above article noted an error in publication of this paper (AOP and in this issue) in Figures 4 and 5, whereby the wrong symbol was used to denote the absence of drug concentrations. The corrected figures and captions are shown below.

Figure 4
figure 1

Effect of pargamicin A (a, b), melittin (c), vancomycin (d), arbekacin (e) and daptomycin (f) on membrane potential. Each point is the mean±s.d. of four estimates. Membrane potential assays were evaluated in the absence (open squares) or presence of the following concentrations of drugs: 1 × MIC (open circles), 2 × MIC (solid triangles), 4 × MIC (solid circles) and 8 × MIC (solid diamonds).

Figure 5

Loss of membrane function by pargamicin A (a, b), melittin (c), vancomycin (d), arbekacin (e) and daptomycin (f). Each point is the mean±s.d. of four estimates. Membrane function assays were evaluated in the absence (open squares) or presence of the following concentrations of drugs: 1 × MIC (open circles), 2 × MIC (solid triangles), 4 × MIC (solid circles) and 8 × MIC (solid diamonds).
