Versions Notes
In the original publication [1], there is a mistake in Figure 3 as published. The figure, which illustrates the antibacterial mechanism of Chinese herb-synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), incorrectly depicts a mitochondrion within the bacterial cell. As bacteria are prokaryotic organisms, they do not possess mitochondria. The corrected Figure 3 appears below.
The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.

Figure 3. Antibacterial mechanism of Chinese herb-synthesized AgNPs. Antibacterial mechanism possibly shows that AgNPs bind to the bacterial cells and lead to the following results: (1) cell wall and cell membrane degradation, (2) penetrate intracellularly and denature proteins and damage DNA, (3) enzyme inactivation by oxidative stress generated by ROS.
