A Correction on
Beyond survival to domination: Brucella's multilayered strategies for evading host immune responses

by Wei, Z., Zhang, S., Wang, X., Bai, J., Wang, H., Yang, Y., and Zhai, J. (2025). Front. Microbiol. 16:1608617. doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2025.1608617

During the production process, a reference that was missing from the reference list was incorrectly added to an inappropriate position in the main text, causing multiple references to shift by one position overall and resulting in misalignment of the in-text citations.

The reference for [Bhardwaj et al., 2021] was erroneously written as Bhardwaj, A., Sita, K., Sehgal, A., Bhandari, K., Kumar, S., Prasad, P., et al. (2021). Heat priming of lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) Seeds and foliar treatment with γ- aminobutyric acid (GABA), confers protection to reproductive function and yield traits under high-temperature stress environments. Int. J. Mol. Sci. 22:5825. doi: 10.3390/ijms22115825.

It should be Xiong, X., Li, B., Zhou, Z., Gu, G., Li, M., Liu, J., et al. (2021). The VirB system plays a crucial role in Brucella intracellular infection. Int. J. Mol. Sci. 22:13637. doi: 10.3390/ijms222413637.
