Correction to: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-38577-9, published online 28 February 2019
In the original version of this Article, a reference was omitted. This reference has now been added as Reference 17 and the original References 17–44 are now listed as References 18–45, respectively.
As a result, in the Introduction section,
“Recently we observed that when the MAC properly forms pores in the outer membrane of E. coli, this triggers inner membrane damage and killing (Heesterbeek et al., accepted for publication in EMBO journal, see attached manuscript).”
now reads:
“Recently we observed that when the MAC properly forms pores in the outer membrane of E. coli, this triggers inner membrane damage and killing17.
In the Methods section, under subheading ‘Complement-mediated outer membrane damage is more efficient than inner membrane damage’,
“In order to study how the MAC kills bacteria, we used a flow cytometry based assay to measure serum-induced outer and inner membrane damage in E. coli (Heesterbeek et al., accepted for publication in EMBO journal, see attached manuscript).”
now reads:
“In order to study how the MAC kills bacteria, we used a flow cytometry based assay to measure serum-induced outer and inner membrane damage in E. coli17.”
Finally, in the Discussion/Conclusion section,
“We recently showed that proper insertion of the MAC into the outer membrane triggers inner membrane damage, which is essential for killing (Heesterbeek et al., accepted for publication in EMBO journal, see attached manuscript).”
now reads:
“We recently showed that proper insertion of the MAC into the outer membrane triggers inner membrane damage, which is essential for killing17.
