Erratum to: Gut Pathog (2014) 6:28 DOI 10.1186/1757-4749-6-28

Following publication of the article in Gut Pathogens [1], it was brought to our attention that the isolation date mentioned in the Methods section is incorrect and should read October 9, 2012 instead of March 19, 2013. The full sentence should read:

Shigella dysenteriae strain SD1D was isolated from stool sample of a healthy individual on Oct 9, 2012, using tryptic soya agar (TSA, HiMedia, India).”
