Following publication of the original article [1], the authors identified an error in Fig. 2 a and fig. 2c. This is to correct the images of Fig. 2a Bi + 10 µg/mL MSNs, Fig. 2c Bi + 40 µg/mL MSNs, and Fig. 2c MSNs-Bi + SIF 120 min.

The similar images of Fig. 2a Bi + 10 µg/mL MSNs, Fig. 2a Bi + 40 µg/mL MSNs, and Fig. 2c MSNs-Bi + SIF 120 min are caused by the change in image order when the images are transferred from the mobile phone to the computer. The correct figures are given below.

Effects of MSNs on the growth of Bifidobacterium. Changes in bacterial growth of a Bifidobacterium and b Escherichia coli (E. coli) in the presence of different MSN concentrations. c Viability of encapsulated Bifidobacterium and E. coli during exposure to simulated intestinal fluid (SIF) with bile salts. d Release of Bifidobacterium and E. coli from MSNs encapsulation in SIF at 37 °C. Viability represents the percentage of bacteria surviving relative to the initial population. Data are presented as mean ± SD, n = 3
