PAGE 9898:

In Fig. 2G, the bars depicting caspase-8 enzymatic activity induced by Yersinia pestis KIM5 ΔYopJ and ΔYopM strains had been switched. There is minimal caspase-8 activity induced by the ΔYopJ strain, whereas the ΔYopM strain induced similar activity as the parental Y. pestis KIM5. This verifies that YopJ is a main driver of caspase-8 activity induced by the bacteria. This error has now been corrected and does not affect the results or conclusions of this work.
