Correction: Detection of vapN in Rhodococcus equi isolates cultured from humans.

[This corrects the article DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0190829.].

Following the publication of this article [1], a reader noticed the sixth sentence of the Abstract and the fifth sentence of the first paragraph of the Discussion are incorrect. The vapN carriage of R. equi isolated from human infections from Brazil was reported during the revision process of this article [2] and an isolate from Japan has been previously identified [3]. The two sentences in question were not corrected between revisions. Please see the correct sentences here:

There is an error in the sixth sentence of the Abstract. The correct sentence is: This is the first report of vapN carriage in R. equi isolated from human infections in the United States.

There is an error in the fifth sentence of the first paragraph of the Discussion. The correct sentence is: To the authors' knowledge, this is the first confirmed report of vapN carriage in R. equi cultured from patients in the United States and from a HIV-negative, transplant patient.
