AUTHOR CORRECTION

Volume 54, no. 4, p. 1017–1024, 2016. Page 1021, first paragraph of Discussion, lines 13 to 17: The sentence beginning “Although” should read “It is important to note that in one study specimens from subjects with intermediate flora were not analyzed (18) and in the other study the impact of intermediate flora on diagnostic accuracy is not discussed (17), although that study did include specimens from subjects with intermediate flora (D. N. Fredricks, personal communication).” The original wording implied that two analogous studies excluded samples with intermediate Nugent scores, when only one such study (the one described in reference 18) did so; the other study (described in reference 17) did in fact include intermediate flora vaginal specimens (D. N. Fredricks, personal communication).
