The original version of this article [1] contained the following errors that, unfortunately, could not be corrected in time before online publication.

  1. 1.

    The ‘Adhesion ability of L. reuteri pNZ-zhd101’ of the ‘Results’ section erroneously read: “The mean fluorescence intensity of Caco-2 cells incubated with HI-stained L. reuteri Pg4 was significantly greater than that of Caco-2 cells alone (15.53 ± 1.50 vs. 0.42 ± 0.11)…”.

    The sentence should instead read: “The mean fluorescence intensity of Caco-2 cells incubated with HI-stained L. reuteri Pg4 was significantly greater than that of Caco-2 cells alone (15.53 ± 1.50 vs. 0.32 ± 0.09)”.

  2. 2.

    The fourth paragraph of the ‘Discussion’ section erroneously read: “In this study, all three L. reuteri Pg4 strains survived after an incubation period of 4 h at pH 3.0 or 10 h in MRS broth containing 0.5% ox gall.

    The sentence should instead read: “In this study, all three L. reuteri Pg4 strains survived after an incubation period of 4 h at pH 3.0 or 24 h in MRS broth containing 0.5% ox gall”.

  3. 3.

    The second and third paragraphs of the ‘Discussion’ section erroneously cited Fig. 2. The correct citation is to Fig. 3. As a result, all subsequent figure citations were also incorrect and had to be renumbered.

The above errors have been corrected in the original article.
