The final, formatted version of the article will be published soon.

In the published article, there was an error in the legend for Figure 1 as published. The compound library composition was inaccurately described as exclusively containing 58 microorganism-derived natural products, whereas it included 57 microorganism-derived small molecules and 1 fully synthetic compound. The corrected legend appears below.Screening of microorganism-derived and synthetic compounds against R. solanacearum. The effects of 57 microorganism-derived small molecules and 1 fully synthetic compound on the growth of R. solanacearum were investigated.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.In the published article, there was an error. The source of the fully synthetic compounds was incorrectly described as "microorganism-derived compounds" in the text.A correction has been made to Abstract section, Paragraph 1. This sentence previously stated:"In this study, we screened a library of 58 microorganism-derived natural products for their antibacterial activity against R. solanacearum."The corrected sentence appears below:"In this study, we screened a library of 57 microorganism-derived small molecule compounds and 1 fully synthetic small molecule compound for their antibacterial activity against R. solanacearum."PAGE \* Arabic \* MERGEFORMAT 3A correction has been made to Abstract section, Paragraph 1. This sentence previously stated: "In summary, our results demonstrate the great potential of microorganism-derived compounds as broad-spectrum antibacterial compounds, providing alternative ways for the efficient control of bacterial plant diseases."The corrected sentence appears below: "In summary, our results demonstrate the great potential of microorganism-derived and synthetic small molecules as broad-spectrum antibacterial compounds, providing alternative ways for the efficient control of bacterial plant diseases."A correction has been made to Introduction section, Paragraph 5. This sentence previously stated:"Gatifloxacin hydrochloride is a microorganism-derived compound with promising antibacterial activities against both Gram positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including some anaerobic organisms and mycobacteria."The corrected sentence appears below: "Gatifloxacin hydrochloride is a fully synthetic small molecule with promising antibacterial activities against both Gram positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including some anaerobic organisms and mycobacteria."A correction has been made to Introduction section, Paragraph 6. This sentence previously stated:"In this study, we screened a microorganism-derived compound library to identify compounds that show good antibacterial activity against R. solanacearum."The corrected sentence appears below:"In this study, we screened a compound library comprising 57 microorganism-derived compounds and 1 fully synthetic compound to identify compounds that show good antibacterial activity against R. solanacearum."A correction has been made to Materials and methods Section, Microorganism-derived compounds information, Paragraph 1. This sentence previously stated:"Microorganism-derived compounds information."The corrected sentence appears below: "Small molecule compounds information."
