Corrigendum: Escape of TLR5 recognition by Leptospira spp.: A rationale for atypical endoflagella

Abstract

In the original article, there was a mistake in Figure 8A, as published. We showed that we did not get expression of the FLaB1 subunit in Manilae L495 strain. In fact, the forward primer (designed according to the Fiocruz sequence) used to amplify the FlaB1 subunit has two mismatches within the Manilae sequence. We did the RT-PCR with the good primer and found an amplification, showing an enhanced expression at the stationary phase compared to the exponential phase, likewise the other FlaB subunits. The corrected Figure 8 appears below.A correction has been made to Results, "FlaB mRNA Are Upregulated in Stationary Phase".
