The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article.
After publication, concerns were raised regarding the undeclared use of artificial intelligence tools in this article. Specifically, errors and misspellings in Fig. 3, and errors in text, such as excessive use of dashes and inconsistent formatting of bacterial species names. The authors were asked to explain the concerns, but they were unable to provide satisfactory explanations and supporting data.
The Editor-in-Chief therefore has lost confidence in the data presented in this article.
On behalf of all authors, Abolfazl Fateh stated that they disagree with this retraction.
