Corrigendum to "Association between Virulence Factors and Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Compared to Nonproducing Isolates".

[This corrects the article DOI: 10.1155/2017/7279830.].

In the article titled “Association between Virulence Factors and Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Compared to Nonproducing Isolates” [1], there were errors, which should be corrected as follows:

In the Results section, “a total of twenty-four different virulence profiles were observed among the tested isolates,” should be “a total of twenty-three different virulence profiles were observed among the tested isolates.”

In the Discussion section, “analysis of virulence factors combination has brought out 23 different virulence profiles including 2 to 8 virulence factors (Table 4),” should be “analysis of virulence factors combination has brought out 23 different virulence profiles including 2 to 9 virulence factors (Table 4).”

In the eighteenth row of Table 4, “Biofilm-serum resistant-haemagglutination-lipase-α-hemolysis-BssS-fimH-iss” should be corrected to “Biofilm-serum resistant-haemagglutination-hypermucoviscosity-lipase-α-hemolysis-BssS-fimH-iss.” The correct table is shown as follows:
