A Correction on
Prevalence, bacterial load, and genomic characterization of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in freshwater-farmed Litopenaeus vannamei from China

by Shan, F., Li, W., Chu, Z., Hou, P., Sun, N., Li, R., Liu, X., Chen, W., Zhong, L., Yan, S., Cui, S., and Guo, Y. (2025). Front. Microbiol. 16:1713237. doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2025.1713237

There was a mistake in Figure 3 and Figure 5 as published. The figure 5 does not match the proof version, and figure 3 was uploaded incorrectly. The corrected figure 3 and figure 5 appears below.

Figure 3
Dendrogram and heatmap showing genetic analysis data. The dendrogram clusters samples with distinct colors representing their STs, ARGs, and virulence genes presence and absence. A key indicates sample type (fresh or saltwater) and province color coding for Shandong and Fujian.

Figure 3. Distribution and statistical analysis of ARGs in 124 V. parahaemolyticus isolates. (a) Distribution of ARGs in 124 V. parahaemolyticus isolates. (b) Differences in the number of ARGs in isolates across different provinces. (c) Differences in isolates across number of ARGs in different sources. ‘**' means P < 0.01, ‘***' means P < 0.001, ‘ns' means P > 0.05.

Figure 5
Chart illustrating the number of *Vibrio parahaemolyticus* with various antimicrobial resistance genes. Panel (a) shows bar graphs with different colors representing Beta-lactams, Tetracyclines, Quinolones, and Sulfonamides. Panel (b) shows a boxplot comparing ARGs between Shandong and Fujian, with Fujian having a higher median. Panel (c) compares shrimp and freshwater environments, showing higher ARGs in freshwater.

Figure 5. Phylogenetic tree and heatmap of sequence types, ARGs and virulence genes in 124 V. parahaemolyticus isolates. The different colors of branches and strain names represent the provincial origins and sample types of the strains, respectively. Different colors of squares were used to indicate the STs, ARGs and virulence genes.

There was a mistake in the caption of figure 2 as published. The caption of figure 2 does not match the proof version. The corrected caption of figure 2 appears below. “Figure 2. MLST and minimum spanning tree of 94 V. parahaemolyticus isolates.”

There was a mistake in the Abstract section as published. There was a typo error “This study aimed to investigate and evaluate the contamination of V. parahaemolyticus in freshwater-farmed marine shrimp (L. annamei) in China.”

The corrected sentences appears below.

“This study aimed to investigate and evaluate the contamination of V. parahaemolyticus in freshwater-farmed marine shrimp (L. vannamei) in China.”
