Text Correction

In the original publication [1], we recognized a mistake in our manuscript which was published. In Section 2 Materials and Methods, we specified 125 µL buffer instead of 500 µL buffer for the preparation of the LAMP. However, this was a formal error. The test was carried out correctly, as the buffer provided by the company and ready for use was used for the preparation. This was not pipetted and the amount in milliliters was not changed. The main text in Section 2.2 should now read as follows:
“For the LAMP, 25 μL of sample was mixed up with 500 μL of buffer and incubated for 3 min at 99 °C and then added to lyophilized reagents.”
With the above corrections, the authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
