by Vaara M. (2019). Front. Microbiol. 10:1689. doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2019.01689

In the original article, there was a mistake in Table 1 as published. The structure of SPR206 was partially incorrect. In the correct structure, R(FA) is (3S)-4-amino-3-(3-chlorophenyl)butanoyl, R1 is absent, and R3 is Dap+. The corrected Table 1 appears below.

TABLE 1

Table 1. The structures of polymyxin B, colistin, and the novel polymyxin derivatives that display improved efficacy in animal infection models (compounds 4-10)a,b.

The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.

Keywords: polymyxin B, colistin, extremely resistant (XDR), Gram-negative bacteria, improved polymyxins
