Correction: Tamura et al. Interrelations between Gut Microbiota Composition, Nutrient Intake and Diabetes Status in an Adult Japanese Population. J. Clin. Med. 2022, 11, 3216

Text Correction

There was an error in the original publication [1]. The description of the methods for analyzing gut microbiota was not described properly. The following sentences in the methods were inaccurate and, thus, should be corrected: “Fecal samples were collected within 3 days prior to the study by using a commercial tube kit (TechnoSuruga Laboratory Co., Ltd., Shizuoka, Japan) and cotton swabs and were stored at 4 °C until the DNA was extracted as previously reported [20,21,22]. The gut microbiota composition was investigated by applying the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (q-PCR) method targeting the V3–V4 region of the prokaryotic 16S rRNA genes, as previously described [23].”

A correction was applied to 2. Subjects and Methods, 2.2. Characteristics Measured, 1st Paragraph, lines 2–7:

Fecal samples were collected within 3 days prior to the study by using a commercial tube kit (TechnoSuruga Laboratory Co., Ltd., Shizuoka, Japan), and stored at 4 °C until the DNA was extracted, as previously reported [20,21,22]. The gut microbiota composition was investigated by conducting a next-generation sequencing analysis targeting the V3–V4 region of the prokaryotic 16S rRNA genes, as previously described [23].

The authors apologize for any inconvenience caused and state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
