Following publication of the original article, the ESCMID Study Group for Nosocomial Infections (ESGNI) was mistakenly added as a separate author, whereas all authors were acting on behalf of the study group. The author list has been updated in this correction article and the original article [1] has been corrected. Additionally, the article contained numerous minor typos which have since been amended.
