Abstract
Correction for ‘The recent advances in surface antibacterial strategies for biomedical catheters’ by Lin Liu et al., Biomater. Sci., 2020, DOI: 10.1039/d0bm00659a.
The authors would like to clarify two points which were made in their article. They would like to confirm that a zone width of greater than 10 mm has previously been suggested as a possible indicator of potential clinical significance. However, there is currently no clear unified standard for the size of the zone of inhibition. They would also like to clarify that the antibacterial agents listed should read “There are various antibacterial agents that can be encapsulated into catheters, including antibiotics,57 gold nanoparticles,56 NO donors,58 and bacteriophages.59”
The authors also apologise that references 12 and 82 in the original version of the article were incorrect. The correct references are given here as ref. 1 and 2, respectively.
The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
