Following publication of the original article [1], the authors identified three errors: two in the author name of Hongzhi Xu and Yimin Yang, and one in the caption of Fig. 1.

The author names Hongzhi Xu and Yimin Yang had been incorrectly spelled as ‘Hongzhu Xu’ and ‘Yiming Yang’.

While Fig. 1 had been (incorrectly) captioned with ‘Comparisons of bacterial diversity between AR and non-AR patients. a The bacterial á diversity indexes comparison including Chao1, J and Shannon. Letters indicate the ANOVA groupings. b Differences in bacterial community structures between samples from AR and non-AR’

Fig. 1

Comparisons of bacterial diversity between AR and non-AR patients. a The bacterial α diversity indexes comparison including Chao1, J and Shannon. Letters indicate the ANOVA groupings. b Differences in bacterial community structures between samples from AR and non-AR. c The PCoA analysis revealing the bacterial communities between AR and non-AR in PCoA1 vs PCoA2 axis. d PCoA1 vs PCoA3 axis

The names and caption have been corrected in the original article.
