Subsequent to the publication of the above paper it has been brought to our attention that the species epithet proposed for the taxon represented by strain VRC07T is not grammatically correct as “Nocardia bhagyanesis” should have been proposed as Nocardia bhagyanarayanae. We propose here the corrected name for the taxon represented by strain VRC07T.
