In the original article, there was a mistake in Table 1 as published. Our collection stock of EIEC-O152 (1) contained low level of ExPEC-O25:H16 which was sequenced in the study instead of EIEC. The corrected Table 1 appears below.
Table 1
| Tree label | Description | Isolates | Serotypes |
|---|---|---|---|
| EIEC | Enteroinvasive E. coli | 32 | 15 |
| EAEC | Enteroaggregative E. coli | 3 | 3 |
| STEC | Shiga-toxin producing E. coli | 1 | 1 |
| ExPEC | Extraintestinal E. coli | 6 | 3 |
| EPEC | Enteropathogenic E. coli | 3 | 2 |
| EHEC | Enterohemorrhagic E. coli | 5 | 5 |
| E. fergusonii | E. fergusonii | 2 | 1 |
| SD | Shigella dysenteriae | 23 | 14 |
| SF | Shigella flexneri | 36 | 6 |
| SB | Shigella boydii | 32 | 20 |
| SS | Shigella sonnei | 26 | 1 |
| S. enterica | Salmonella enterica | 2 | 1 |
| Total | 171 | 72 |
Number of bacterial isolates and serotypes.
The ExPEC cluster contains the ExPEC-O25:H16 instead of the one EIEC isolate but this cluster was not discussed in the original manuscript. The NCBI accession has been updated as well.
Labels for EIEC-O152 (1) were modified to ExPEC-O25:H16 on the phylogenetic trees displayed in Figures 1, 3, and in Supplementary Figures 1, 4–6, and in Supplementary Tables 1, 3.

Additionally, the text in the Phylogeny subsection in Results, first paragraph, should be written as:
One hundred and seventy-one genomes were selected to encompass a large selection of EIEC strains and represent the diversity of the Shigella genus. Genomes from 35 isolates were in-house sequenced draft genomes while 136 were available in public databases (Supplementary Table 1). We used 23 isolates of SD, including a minimum of 14 serotypes, 36 SF isolates, including at least six serotypes, 32 SB isolates, covering all 20 serotypes, 26 SS isolates, 32 EIEC isolates with 15 different serotypes, 18 isolates of non-invasive E. coli composed of 14 different serotypes, two isolates of E. fergusonii. The genomes of two Salmonella isolates were used for an outgroup (Table 1).
In the original article, there was a mistake in Table 2 as published. A coding mistake led to incorrect identification of lineage-specific SNPs. We reported 404 diagnostic SNPs, but the correct count is 254. The corrected Table 2 appears below and Supplementary Table 2 with the sequences of the regions containing the diagnostic SNPs has been modified.
Table 2
| Group | N | Dsnps |
|---|---|---|
| EIEC/EHEC/EAEC | 12 | 6 |
| EIEC large | 16 | 0 |
| EIEC small | 3 | 31 |
| ExPEC | 6 | 71 |
| SB/SD large | 38 | 7 |
| SB/SD small | 15 | 21 |
| SD serotype 1 | 3 | 1 |
| SD serotype 10 | 3 | 37 |
| SD serotype 8/EHEC/EPEC | 10 | 1 |
| SF | 33 | 34 |
| SS | 26 | 45 |
| Total | 165 | 254 |
Phylogenetic group name (from Figure 1), number of individuals within each group (N) and the number of diagnostic SNPs (Dsnps).
The abstract should read “Lastly, we identified a panel of 254 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers specific to each phylogenetic cluster for more accurate identification of Shigella and EIEC.” Similarly, the second line in the Lineage-Specific SNP Identification and Evaluation of Previously Described Molecular Assays for the Differentiation of Shigella and EIEC subsection in Results should read: “From 7,062 core SNPs, we found 254 SNP positions that were diagnostic for each of the clusters (Supplementary Table S2).”
The authors apologize for these errors and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way.
The original article has been updated.

Supplementary Figure 1A maximum-likelihood (ML) phylogeny of Shigella, enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC), non-invasive E. coli strains and Salmonella outgroup based on 2,348 SNPs present in all genomes using the kSNP program (Gardner and Hall, 2013). The ML tree was generated using GARLI v. 2.0.1019 (Zwickl, 2006) under the GTR + I + Γ model and other default settings. Trees were visualized with Figtree v. 1.3 (Rambaut and Drummond, 2009). The best tree was chosen from 100 runs of the data set and bootstrap values (1,000 iterations) are reported above each node. Bootstrap values <80% were not shown.
Supplementary Figure 4Hierarchical clustering of antibiotic resistance related genes. Red values on dendrogram represent unbiased p-values determined by Pvclust package in R. The dendrogram was generated using the correlation distance method and the average linkage method.
Supplementary Figure 5BLAST alignment of primers, described by Sahl et al. as specific for Shigella phylogenetic groups (Sahl et al., 2015), with genomes used in this study. A blue cell for a particular genome indicates that both primers of the pair aligned to 95% or greater sequence identity and should therefore hybridize to yield a PCR product. The phylogenetic group designation assigned by Sahl et al. is noted next to the cluster designations we observed with these genomes.
Supplementary Figure 6In silico alignment of primer-probe sets described by Pavlovic et al. (2011) with genomes used in this study using BLAST. The lacY set was supposed to differentiate between Shigella (absent) and EIEC (present), while the uidA set was intended to be a positive control (present in both). BLAST identities of 92% or higher are shown with blue cells. Although PCR products are expected from a particular genome if both cells corresponding to the forward and reverse primers are highlighted in blue, the real-time PCR assay (Pavlovic et al., 2011) also require the respective probe to hybridize efficiently and therefore the respective cell to be highlighted in blue in the figure.
Supplementary Table 1Strain information includes NCBI identifier (SRA#), Tree label/Strain designation, genus and species with serotype, O or H antigens, additional strain identifiers and reference for source of genomes.
Supplementary Table 2Full list of diagnostic SNPs for Shigella and EIEC phylogenetic clusters. Includes phylogenetic cluster name, 21 bp sequence of region containing diagnostic SNP with ambiguous SNP state represented by “.”, diagnostic SNP state of cluster, position in the NCBI annotated reference genome (SD serotype 1, CP000034), gene name (“NA” if intergenic), functional gene product (“NA” if intergenic), COG identifier and reference genome (CP000034) locus tag.
Supplementary Table 3Assembly statistics and genome metrics calculated by the Quast program. Includes Tree label/Strain designation, NCBI SRA accession number, number of contigs greater or equal to 1,000 bp (# contigs (≥1,000 bp)), number of contigs greater or equal to 0 bp ((# contigs (≥0 bp), total length of contigs greater or equal to 1,000 bp (Total length (≥1,000 bp)), total length of contigs greater or equal to 0 bp (Total length (≥0 bp)), number of contigs, largest contig (bp), total length of all contigs, percent GC content and number of N's per 100 kbp.
