The original article has been published incorrectly with error that is corrected below.

While the sentence published in the first paragraph (1st column) on page 5 reads “CBS 138 fourteen chromosomes are illustrated in Supplementary materials Fig. S1.”

The correct sentence should read “CBS 138 thirteen chromosomes are illustrated in Supplementary materials Fig. S1.”

The units given in columns 1 of Table 1 were mislabeled. The corrected Table 1 is given below:

Table 1.

Note that Y1643 and Y1644 do not originate from Danish patients/hospitals. LD100 is the lethal dose (the lowest concentration which completely eliminates the growth of the yeast strain)
