This Article contains errors in Tables 2, 5 and 6.

In Table 2, the subheading ‘Kraken^b’ should read ‘Kraken^bd’

In Table 5, for the MetaPhlAn2 (Unix) method, the sensitivity and PPV values should read as 78% and 54% respectively. For the MIDAS (Unix) method, the sensitivity and PPV values should read as 78% and 21% respectively.

In Table 6, the subscript note ^a has been incorrectly included in the subheading ‘CLC Genomics Workbench^a’, which should read ‘CLC Genomics Workbench’
