Dr. Laura Bloem was inadvertently omitted as an author. The author line should appear as shown above. Dr. Bloem's affiliation is the UICentre for Drug Discovery. Accordingly, the Acknowledgments section should read as follows. We thank Dr. Reid Wilkening for preparations of S. pyogenes and S. gordonii rPepO and Drs. Jason Hickok and Gregory R. J. Thatcher of the UICentre under the UIC Center for Clinical & Translational Sciences (National Institutes of Health Grant UL1TR002003), for valuable project discussions and compound library access. Dr. Bloem provided important contributions in decisions on the best compounds to pursue for this study and in the design and evaluation of results of a kinetic bioassay (Fig. 5).
