Abstract

The authors sincerely regret the following omissions from the research paper “Lactic acid production by Streptococcus thermophilus alters Clostridium difficile infection and in vitro Toxin A production” published in the November/December 2013 issue of Gut Microbes.¹ Michael P. Timko should have been listed as the sixth co-author as follows:
