In the original version of this Article, Bettina Löffler and Lorena Tuchscherr were incorrectly affiliated with ‘Center for Infectious Diseases and Infection Control, Jena University Hospital, Jena, Germany’. The correct affiliation is listed below:

Center for Sepsis Control and Care (CSCC), Jena University Hospital, Jena, Germany

In addition, this affiliation was omitted for Christine Pöllath.

This new affiliation is listed as Affiliation 3 and, as a result, Affiliations 3 – 9 in the original version of this Article are now Affiliations 4 – 10.

These errors have now been corrected in the PDF and HTML versions of the Article and in the accompanying Supplementary Information.
