A Corrigendum on
Surveillance and Genomics of Toxigenic Vibrio cholerae O1 From Fish, Phytoplankton and Water in Lake Victoria, Tanzania

by Hounmanou, Y. M. G., Leekitcharoenphon, P., Hendriksen, R. S., Dougnon, T. V., Mdegela, R. H., Olsen, J. E., et al. (2019). Front. Microbiol. 10:901. doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2019.00901

In the original article, there was a mistake in Supplementary Table S1 as published. In row number 17, all ctxB genotypes were ctxB7. The corrected Supplementary Table S1 contains ctxB1 in columns D, F, and L and ctxB3 in column H.

In the original article, there was an error. “All strains belong to the third wave of the seventh pandemic as they are all atypical El Tor biotype variants of V. cholerae O1, carrying the ctxB7 genotype of the ctxB gene while possessing the rstR and tcpA genes of El Tor biotype.”

A correction has been made to the Results Section, Sub-section: “Genomic Characterization of the V. cholerae Strains,” Paragraph Number 1:

“Most strains belong to the third wave of the seventh pandemic as they are all atypical El Tor biotype variants of V. cholerae O1, carrying the ctxB7 genotype of the ctxB gene while possessing the rstR and tcpA genes of El Tor biotype. However, strains Water2, Fish1, Fish3 possess ctxB1 of the early third wave and Plankton1 contained ctxB3 of the first wave clustering with older outbreak strains.”

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.
