Publisher Correction: Development of a viability digital PCR protocol for the selective detection and quantification of live Erwinia amylovora cells in cankers

Correction to: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-47976-x, published online 08 August 2019

In the original version of the Article, the full error bars were omitted from Figure 9A due a technical error during publication.

In addition, in the Results and Discussion Section under the subheading ‘Direct transfer of a qPCR protocol to the QS3D dPCR system’,

“A known qPCR protocol for E. amylovora³¹ was transferred to the QS3D dPCR platform, using the same primer and probe concentrations and thermal cycling conditions as a first step to test the QS3D dPCR technology.”

now reads:

“A known qPCR protocol for E. amylovora³¹ was transferred to the QS3D dPCR platform, using the same primer and probe concentrations and thermal cycling conditions as a first step to test the QS3D dPCR technology.”

Finally, in the Legend of Table 2,

“^cLog Copies mL⁻¹ = Log [copies μL⁻¹_rxn × 1/D_{rxn tube} x1/E_{DNA Extr}. X1/Vol_Pl.Macerates]; i.e. Log (copies μL⁻¹_rxn × 1.79 × 10³) for Apple, and Log (copies μL⁻¹_rxn × 4.81 × 10³) for pear.”

now reads:

“^cLog Copies mL⁻¹ = Log [copies μL⁻¹_rxn × 1/D_{rxn tube} × 1/E_{DNA Extr} × 1/Vol_Pl.Macerates]; i.e. Log (copies μL⁻¹_rxn × 1.79 × 10³) for Apple, and Log (copies μL⁻¹_rxn × 4.81 × 10³) for pear.”

This has been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the Article.
