Table 2 of the original article was published with an error in the “Missed by HPN” column. The correct Table 2 is shown below.

Table 2.

Concordance between Unyvero HPN panel and SoC results by organism

^a SoC detected S. aureus below the diagnostic-cutoff (10¹-10² CFU/mL), not reported by HPN panel

^b SoC detected K. pneumoniae below the diagnostic-cutoff (10¹-10² CFU/mL), not reported by HPN panel

^c one K. aerogenes was not quantified by SoC

^d SoC detected P. mirabilis below the diagnostic-cutoff (10²-10³ CFU/mL), not reported by HPN panel

Also in the Discussion section, paragraph 3, the sentence “Nevertheless, we also included 19 (23%) BAL or PSB samples among which four (one BAL and 3 PSB) samples had a bacterial species, isolated by culture at counts ≥ 10³ CFU/mL.” should be changed to “Nevertheless, we also included 19 (23%) BAL or PSB samples among which four (one BAL and 3 PSB) samples had a bacterial species, isolated by culture at counts ≤ 10³ CFU/mL.”

The original article has been corrected.
