In the original article, there was a mistake in Figure 1 as published. The penile swab compositions for H2O2 and 15H2O2 were mistakenly swapped. Similarly, the vaginal swab compositions for H2O2 and 15H2O2 were also mistakenly swapped. The corrected Figure 1 appears below.
Figure 1.
Microbial composition of penile and vaginal swabs. Most abundant genus were plotted in different colors. NoS, microbiota without sexual intercourse; BeS, immediately before sexual encounter; AfUS, 4 days after unprotected sexual encounter, no oral sex and with ejaculation inside the vagina; AfPS, immediately after vaginal sex with condom and oral sex; H2O2 after 1 day of H2O2 treatment; 15H2O2, after 15 days of intermittent H2O2 treatment. Male and female samples are indicated with the corresponding symbol.
