Page 11, line 10: “In contrast, genes associated with the CRISPR-cas type IIA system and the type II restriction-modification system LmoJ3 (24) were negatively associated with nonpersistence” should read “In contrast, genes associated with the CRISPR-cas type IIA system and the type II restriction-modification system LmoJ3 (24) were associated with nonpersistence.”
