Correction: Antibiotic resistance rates and physician antibiotic prescription patterns of uncomplicated urinary tract infections in southern Chinese primary care.

[This corrects the article DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0177266.].

The antibiotic name amoxicillin appears incorrectly throughout the article. The correct antibiotic name is amoxicillin-clavulanate.

The antibiotic name amoxicillin appears incorrectly in Tables 3 and 5. Please see the correct Tables 3 and 5 below.

aIsolates were sensitive to physicians prescribed antibiotics (amoxicillin-clavulanate, ampicillin, ciprofloxacin, co-trimoxazole, gentamicin and nitrofurantoin).

bIsolates were resistant to physicians prescribed antibiotics (amoxicillin-clavulanate, ampicillin, ciprofloxacin, co-trimoxazole, gentamicin and nitrofurantoin).

cStatistically significant at P<0.05.

The antibiotic name amoxicillin appears incorrectly in Fig 2. The authors have provided the corrected version here.
