An error during the preparation of Figure 6 for publishing led to the inadvertent creation of duplicate features in the PEEK image and alterations in the PEKK image on page 6475. The journal wishes to apologise for these errors. The correct version of Figure 6 is shown below.

Figure 6 Live/dead assay of Staphylococcus epidermidis attached on PEEK (A) and PEKK (B) samples (SYTO® 9 and propidium iodide respectively stained live [green] and dead [red] bacteria cells).

Notes: No red stained bacteria observed in these images. Scale bars =50 microns.

Abbreviations: PEE K, poly-ether-ether-ketone; PEKK, poly-ether-ketone-ketone.
