In Table 1B, Equations 14a–c, the denominators (e.g., Ns + Ni) should be the entire Escherichia coli population (N = Ns + Ni + Nr). The corrected Equations 14a–c appear below.

In the MATLAB code provided in the Supplementary Materials, the denominator of Equation 14 (plasmid_transfert_si, plasmid_transfert_sr, plasmid_transfert_ir) was, correctly, the entire E. coli population. This correction does not impact the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The authors apologize for this mistake.

The original article has been updated.

c) PTri =
Transfer of plasmids/transposons from (a) intermediate to susceptible, (b) resistant to susceptible, and (c) resistant to intermediate E. coli. β is the rate of plasmid transfer between two j populations of E. coli, Nj is the number of j1E. coli in the large intestine, and N is the total number of E. coli in the large intestine.

Escherichia coli population and pharmacodynamic model equations.

j population refers to s (susceptible), i (intermediate resistance), or r (resistant).
