Versions Notes
The authors wish to add the following amendments and corrections to their paper published in IJERPH [1].
1. Page 2417, line 4–5, the sentence “The highest frequencies of antibiotic resistance were detected against bactrim (38.95%), nitrofurantoin (36.28%) and penicillin (30.49%).” should read ”The highest frequencies of antibiotic resistance were detected against bactrim (39.86%), nitrofurantoin (37.68%) and penicillin (31.16%).”
2. Page 2417, Table 1, the first two values of the “average antibiotic resistance” column were incorrectly calculated. We have corrected this critical error. The updated Table 1 should be as follows:
Table
Table 1. Resistance to 16 antibiotics among bacterial samples from different sources.

3. Page 2420, line 19, the order in the figure legend was wrong. The sentences “The positive control strains A were shown to have agglomerated under scanning electronic microscopy. Similar results were found in the positive samples B. Both the negative control strains C and the negative samples D were separated from each other during scanning electronic microscopy.” should read “The positive control strains A were shown to have agglomerated under scanning electronic microscopy. Similar results were found in the positive samples C. Both the negative control strains B and the negative samples D were separated from each other during scanning electronic microscopy.”
The authors apologize for the inconvenience.
