In Table 3 of the above article, the numbers of antimicrobial-susceptible community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) isolates are stated incorrectly due to an error in calculation during revision of the original table. A corrected version of the table appears below. In addition, the third sentence of the last paragraph of the Results section, The ST5 and ST239 clones of CA-MRSA isolates were also more susceptible to the antimicrobial agents than the clones of HA-MRSA isolates is affected by these errors and should be The antibiotic resistance profiles of the ST5 and ST239 clones in the CA-MRSA group were similar to those of the HA-MRSA isolates. The authors emphasize that the conclusions of the study are unchanged and would like to offer their sincere apologies for these errors.
