Abstract

https://doi.org/10.1186/s12879-024-10368-2. In this article Fig. 1 and its legend was incorrectly appeared as Genetic and epidemiological evidence of nosocomial transmission of blaNDM-1-containing K. pneumoniae ST147. A wgMLST-based phylogenetic relatedness analysis of the nosocomial transmission cluster in context of 163 K. pneumoniae ST147 isolates submitted to the DNSS since 2017 and visualized in a minimum spanning tree. The unique cluster of patient isolates identified in the hospital is encircled with a black dotted line (green and red subclusters). A large cluster of 29 isolates as well as two small clusters associated with Ukrainian patients involved in the Dutch health care system are shown (gray nodes encircled with a blue dotted line), that are genetically distinct and not related to the nosocomial transmission cluster. B Genetic relatedness of 7 clinical isolates showing the resistome with resistance genes (upper part) and plasmids (lower part). Isolate identifiers (letters A-G) match with the patients in the Gantt chart in the supplements. C Close-up of suspected nosocomial transmission cluster showing genetic relatedness (weight of the edges) and location of prior hospitalization shown in brackets surrounded by the dashed yellow line). Numbers next to the connecting lines indicate wgMLST allelic distances However, the correct Fig. 1 and its legend should have appeared as follows.

Environmental cultures are depicted as blue dots with room numbers in which the swab was taken also shown The original article has been corrected.
