The authors would like to make the following corrections to the published paper [1].

There are mistakes in Figure 8 and its legend.

Figure 8.

Figure 8

S. aureus ATCC 6538 (BD) and MRSA 8 (EG) adhesion to human lung A549 cells visualized using Gram staining. Bacterial adhesion, in the different experimental conditions, was compared to negative control (A). 40× magnification A–G; 100× magnification A’–G’. (A,A’): uninfected cells (negative control); (B,B’): A549 cells infected with S. aureus ATCC 6538 (positive control); (C,C’): A549 cells infected with S. aureus ATCC 6538 and simultaneously treated with 32.00 μg/mL of K. lappacea root extract (KLRE); (D,D’): A549 cells infected with S. aureus ATCC 6538 and simultaneously treated with 64.00 μg/mL of KLRE; (E,E’): A549 cells infected with MRSA 8 (positive control); (F,F’): A549 cells infected with MRSA 8 and simultaneously treated with 32.00 μg/mL of KLRE; (G,G’): A549 cells infected with MRSA 8 and simultaneously treated with 64.00 μg/mL of KLRE. Adherent colonies of S. aureus to A549 cell surface (black arrows).

In the original article, Figure 8A’ was duplicated with Figure 8D’. We have replaced Figure 8D’ with a new picture.

In the first sentence of the Figure 8 legend, we inexactly indicated with the A–D letters, reported in brackets, the S. aureus ATCC 6538 adhesion to human lung A549 cells. However, Figure 8A indicates the uninfected cells (negative control). Therefore, we replaced A–D with B–D in the legend.

The correct Figure 8 and its legend are as below. The authors apologize for any inconvenience caused and state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected.
