Correction to: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-022-10314-9, published online 19 April 2022

The original version of this Article contained errors in Tables 2 and 3. Under the heading ‘Resistant’, the values in the column ‘%age’ were a duplicate of the values in the column ‘proportion’. The correct and incorrect values appear below.

Incorrect Table 2:

Antimicrobials Resistant
%age
Colistin 0.00
Meropenem 0.50
Gentamicin 0.54
Amikacin 0.55
Cefoperazone-sulbactam 0.57
Imipenem 0.53
Piperacillin-tazobactam 0.57
Levofloxacin 0.77
Ciprofloxacin 0.72
Ampicillin-sulbactam 0.85
Cefepime 0.71
Amoxicillin-clavulanic acid 0.57
Ceftazidime 0.62

Correct Table 2:

Antimicrobials Resistant
%age
Colistin 0
Meropenem 50
Gentamicin 54
Amikacin 55
Cefoperazone-sulbactam 57
Imipenem 53
Piperacillin-tazobactam 57
Levofloxacin 77
Ciprofloxacin 72
Ampicillin-sulbactam 85
Cefepime 71
Amoxicillin-clavulanic acid 57
Ceftazidime 62

Incorrect Table 3:

Antimicrobials Resistant
%age
Colistin 0.00
Amikacin 0.52
Gentamicin 0.68
Cefoperazone-sulbactam 0.68
Meropenem 0.70
Imipenem 0.72
Piperacillin-tazobactam 0.76
Levofloxacin 0.82
Ciprofloxacin 0.82
Ampicillin-sulbactam 0.85
Cefepime 0.86
Aztreonam 0.92
Amoxicillin-clavulanic acid 0.96

Correct Table 3:

Antimicrobials Resistant
%age
Colistin 0
Amikacin 52
Gentamicin 68
Cefoperazone-sulbactam 68
Meropenem 70
Imipenem 72
Piperacillin-tazobactam 76
Levofloxacin 82
Ciprofloxacin 82
Ampicillin-sulbactam 85
Cefepime 86
Aztreonam 92
Amoxicillin-clavulanic acid 96

Additionally, in Table 4, under ‘P. aeruginosa’, ‘Colistin-dHAM (%age)’, the values for ‘aComparison between and within groups (7th day), p value = 0.000*’ and ‘Comparison between and within groups (14th day), p value = 0.012*’ were interchanged. The correct and incorrect values appear below.

Incorrect Table 4:

Days Statistical measures Treatment groups (zones of inhibition in mm)
Colistin-dHAM (%age)
P. aeruginosa
 aComparison between and within groups (7th day), p value = 0.000*
7th day

 Comparison between and within groups (14th day), p value = 0.012*
14th day

32.3 ± 11.0

(p: 0.014*)

Correct Table 4:
