Abstract

In the published version of this article, the corresponding author was listed incorrectly. The corresponding author statement should have read as follows: ‘*Correspondence: Luo Yan Ping, ​ypluo301@​aliyun.​com’ Additionally, in the first paragraph of the discussion section some text and accompanying references were mistakenly omitted. The omitted references and corrected text with corresponding citations are detailed below: ‘This study aimed to understand the population structure of K. pneumoniae within the People’s Liberation Army General Hospital (H301) in Beijing over a 15 year period. While several studies have investigated the genetic epidemiology of CR-Kp in China in general [19, 25, 26] and in Hospital 301 in particular [1–6], this study represents the first longitudinal investigation focusing on the broad K. pneumoniae population from China.’ 1.
