Corrigendum: Genome Reduction for Niche Association in Campylobacter Hepaticus, A Cause of Spotty Liver Disease in Poultry

[This corrects the article on p. 354 in vol. 7, PMID: 28848714.].

Additionally, there was an incorrect sentence. Incorrect sentence describing the number of RNA coding sequences and the GC content. A correction has been made to Results, C. hepaticus Isolates Have Reduced Genomes, Paragraph Number One and appears below.
The C. hepaticus isolates had a lower number (average of 44) of RNA coding sequences and a lower GC content (average of 28.4%) in comparison to the C. jejuni reference genomes (average of 52.4 and 30.5%, respectively).
Similarly, there was an incorrect sentence. Incorrect sentence describing the genes related to pathogenicity of C. hepaticus. A correction has been made to Results, genes related to the Pathogenicity of C. hepaticus, Paragraph Number One and appears below.
Finally, in incorrect spelling of metabolism was used, we omitted "the" and misspelled "rich." A correction has been made to Discussion, Paragraph Number Four and appears below.

Similar was not observed in the chick commensal model (Stahl et al., 2011), suggesting potential niche specific advantage for colonization in the L-fucose rich environment in the pig small intestine and cecum.
The authors apologize for these errors and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way.
