Affiliation 3 for Aram Asareh Zadegan Dezfuli was incorrectly labelled as a present address. The correct affiliations are listed below.
Infectious and Tropical Diseases Research Center, Health Research Institute, Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, Ahvaz, Iran
Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine, Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, Ahvaz, Iran
Student Research Committee, Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, Ahvaz, Iran
Affiliation 5 was incorrectly given as ‘5Department of Virology, Faculty of Medicine, Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, Arak, Iran’. The correct affiliation is listed below.
Department of Virology, Faculty of Medicine, Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, Ahvaz, Iran
Additionally, in the Results section, under the subheading ‘Bacterial isolates’,
“Based on standard bacteriological tests, overall, 185 (22.5%) clinical strains of P. aeruginosa were collected from four main hospitals in Ahvaz, southwest of Iran during a nine-month period.”
now reads:
“Based on standard bacteriological tests, overall, 185 (22.5%) clinical strains of P. aeruginosa were collected from four main hospitals in Ahvaz, southwest of Iran during a two-year period.”
In the Discussion section,
“In this study, although the resistance to all tested antibiotics was more than 50.0%, azetonium, tobramycin, cefepime, and imipenem were among the most effective drugs against both quinolone-resistant and quinolone-susceptible strains.”
now reads:
“In this study, although the resistance to all tested antibiotics was more than 50.0%, aztreonam, tobramycin, cefepime, and imipenem were among the most effective drugs against both quinolone-resistant and quinolone-susceptible strains.”
“Another remarkable result of the current study was the high occurrence of MDR P. aeruginosa (78.4%) that was greater than previous indicated statistics from Iran (31.4%), Poland (48%) (28), and Egypt (66.6%)23.”
