Corrigendum: Monte Carlo simulations suggest current chlortetracycline drug-residue based withdrawal periods would not control antimicrobial resistance dissemination from feedlot to slaughterhouse [Front. Microbiol, 8, (2017) (1753)] doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2017.01753

Abstract

In Table 1B, Equations 14a-c, the denominators (e.g., Ns + Ni) should be the entire Escherichia coli population (N = Ns + Ni + Nr). The corrected Equations 14a-c appear below. In the MATLAB code provided in the Supplementary Materials, the denominator of Equation 14 (plasmid_transfert_si, plasmid_transfert_sr, plasmid_transfert_ir) was, correctly, the entire E. coli population. This correction does not impact the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The authors apologize for this mistake.
