Text correction
In the published article, there was a typing error in Result statement.
A correction has been made to the Result section, Genotyping and Phylogenetic Analysis Based on ITS1 and 5.8S rRNA Among N. fowleri Species Causing PAM in Thailand, Line 11.
The Result statement was previously stated:
“The ITS1 sequences of these cases were compatible with N. fowleri genotype T3, which has an ITS1 sequence length of 86 bp and a C nucleotide at position 31 in 5.8S rRNA. The ITS1 nucleotide sequence of the current case No.17 was 100% identical to N. fowleri isolate Nf 69 (MZ494674.1). The sequence length of the ITS1 gene in case No.17 was 86 bp, with the T nucleotide at position 31 in the 5.8S rRNA, which indicates genotype T4 as the causative genotype”.
The corrected sentence appears below:
“The ITS1 sequences of these cases were compatible with N. fowleri genotype T3, which has an ITS1 sequence length of 86 bp and a T nucleotide at position 31 in 5.8S rRNA. The ITS1 nucleotide sequence of the current case No.17 was 100% identical to N. fowleri isolate Nf 69 (MZ494674.1). The sequence length of the ITS1 gene in case No.17 was 86 bp, with the C nucleotide at position 31 in the 5.8S rRNA, which indicates genotype T4 as the causative genotype”.
The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
