Volume 35, no. 12, p. 3166-3170: Repeat and additional testing
of the isolate reported as Enterococcus mundtii carrying the vanC2/C3 ligase gene indicates that this isolate is in fact
nonmotile Enterococcus casseliflavus. Therefore, in Table 1, p. 3168, the data for E. mundtii should be deleted and the
number of E. casseliflavus isolates and the number pigmented
should both read "6." Similarly, p. 3168, column 1, line 21 should
read: "...6 E. casseliflavus isolates and 3 E. flavescens isolates." Page 3166, column 2, lines 3 and 4 should
read: "...has been described in Enterococcus
casseliflavus and Enterococcus flavescens (19, 24)."
This correction does not affect or alter the overall results and
conclusions of the article.
