Erratum to: The first microbial environment of infants born by C-section: the operating room microbes

The Original Article was published on 01 December 2015

After publication of this article [1], the authors noticed one of the collaborator’s names had been misspelled in the ‘Acknowledgements’ section. “Dr. Tsei Ming” is incorrect and should be “Dr. Ming C. Tsai”. The correct version of the ‘Acknowledgements’ section is included below and has been updated in the original article [1].
