A Correction on
Characterization of gut microbiota signatures in Indian preterm infants with necrotizing enterocolitis: a shotgun metagenomic approach

By Devarajalu P, Attri SV, Kumar J, Dutta S and Kabeerdoss J (2025). Front. Cell. Infect. Microbiol. 15:1649384. doi: 10.3389/fcimb.2025.1649384

There was a mistake in Figure 4 as published. The incorrect Figure 4, ‘Heatmap showing three prominent genera of NEC and control groups’ was published. Figure 3b was mistakenly repeated as Figure 4. The corrected Figure 4 appears below.

Figure 4
Heatmap showing microbiome composition in control and NECgroups, differentiated by color. Columns represent samples, while rows show bacteria: Enterococcus, Escherichia, and Klebsiella. Color intensity indicates abundance.
