Genome-Wide Association Studies for the Detection of Genetic Variants Associated With Daptomycin and Ceftaroline Resistance in Staphylococcus aureus

by Weber, R. E., Fuchs, S., Layer, F., Sommer, A., Bender, J. K., Thürmer, A., et al. (2021). Front. Microbiol. 12:639660. doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2021.639660

In the published article, there was an error in affiliations. Instead of “Robert E. Weber1, 2, Stephan Fuchs3, Franziska Layer1, 2, Anna Sommer1, 2, Jennifer K. Bender1, 2, Andrea Thürmer3, Guido Werner1, 2 and Birgit Strommenger1, 2*

1 Department of Infectious Diseases, Robert Koch-Institute, Wernigerode, Germany

2 Methodology and Research Infrastructure, Genome Sequencing, Robert Koch-Institute, Berlin, Germany

3 Methodology and Research Infrastructure, Bioinformatics, Robert Koch-Institute, Berlin, Germany”, it should be

“Robert E. Weber1, Stephan Fuchs2, Franziska Layer1, Anna Sommer1, Jennifer K. Bender1, Andrea Thürmer3, Guido Werner1 and Birgit Strommenger1
