When this article was first published online, Figure 2A contained an error. During figure preparation, the data for pregnant women were inadvertently shifted by one row, resulting in incorrect alignment with the corresponding age groups (16–25, 26–35, and 36–45 years).

Importantly, this was a figure preparation error and does not affect the underlying data, statistical analysis, results, interpretations, or conclusions of the article.

The error has now been corrected. The corrected Figure 2 is displayed below.

Figure 2.

Six bar charts and one line graph showing human listeriosis age groups, symptoms, outcomes, serotypes, and clone distributions. The figure comprises six bar charts and one line graph summarizing the epidemic characteristics of human listeriosis infections. Panel A presents a grouped bar chart, with age groups ranging from 0 -90 days to Greater than sign55 years on the horizontal axis, case counts (0 -80) on the left vertical axis, and an overlaid line graph showing patient proportions (0 -20%) on the right vertical axis. Separate bars represent neonates, pregnant women, immunocompromised patients, and immunocompetent patients. Panel B compares the number of septicemia, meningitis, and gastroenteritis cases between the perinatal and non-perinatal stages, with the vertical axis ranging from 0 to 500 cases. Panel C shows mortality rates (0 -30%) for immunocompromised patients, immunocompetent patients, pregnant women, and neonates. Panel D displays a bar chart showing the number of isolates (0 -250) for serotypes 1/2a, 1/2b, 4b, and 1/2c. Panel E presents a bar chart illustrating case counts (0 -150) for multiple clonal complexes labeled along the horizontal axis, stratified by perinatal and non-perinatal cases.

The epidemic features of human listeriosis infections. (A) Age distribution of population subgroups for listeriosis cases, n = 567; (B) the clinical symptoms of perinatal and non-perinatal infection; (C) clinical manifestations of perinatal and non-perinatal infection; (D) risk probabilities of clinical outcomes following maternal infection; (E) distribution of serotypes; (F) the distribution of the cloned polymorphic form.
