A corrigendum on
Structure-guided design of a potent Clostridioides difficile toxin A inhibitor

by Hussack, G., Rossotti, M. A., van Faassen, H., Murase, T., Eugenio, L., Schrag, J. D., Ng, K. K.-S., and Tanha, J. (2023). Front. Microbiol. 14:1110541. doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1110541

In the published article, there was an error. In the Title, the genus name “Clostridioides” was misspelled as “Clostridiodes.”

This sentence previously stated:

“Structure-guided design of a potent Clostridiodes difficile toxin A inhibitor”

The corrected sentence appears below:

“Structure-guided design of a potent Clostridioides difficile toxin A inhibitor”

A correction has been made to the Abstract section, first sentence. This sentence previously stated:

“Crystal structures of camelid heavy-chain antibody variable domains (VHHs) bound to fragments of the combined repetitive oligopeptides domain of Clostridiodes difficile toxin A (TcdA) reveal that the C-terminus of VHH A20 was located 30 Å away from the N-terminus of VHH A26.”

The corrected sentence appears below:

“Crystal structures of camelid heavy-chain antibody variable domains (VHHs) bound to fragments of the combined repetitive oligopeptides domain of Clostridioides difficile toxin A (TcdA) reveal that the C-terminus of VHH A20 was located 30 Å away from the N-terminus of VHH A26.”

A correction has been made to the Keywords section. This keyword previously stated:

Clostridiodes difficile

The corrected keyword appears below:

Clostridioides difficile

A correction has been made to the Introduction section, first paragraph. This sentence previously stated:

Clostridiodes difficile is a spore-forming Gram-positive bacterium capable of infecting humans and causing symptoms ranging from mild diarrhea to pseudomembranous colitis”

The corrected sentence appears below:

Clostridioides difficile is a spore-forming Gram-positive bacterium capable of infecting humans and causing symptoms ranging from mild diarrhea to pseudomembranous colitis”

A correction has been made to the Abbreviations section, page 2 Footnote. This abbreviation previously stated:

“TcdA, Clostridiodes difficile toxin A”

The corrected abbreviation appears below:

“TcdA, Clostridioides difficile toxin A”

A correction has been made to the Abbreviations section, page 2 Footnote. This Abbreviation previously stated:

“TcdB, Clostridiodes difficile toxin B”

The corrected abbreviation appears below:

“TcdB, Clostridioides difficile toxin B”

A correction has been made to the Figure 1 legend, first sentence. This sentence previously stated:

“Model of the A20-A26 fusion protein bound to the CROPs domain of Clostridiodes difficile TcdA.”

The corrected sentence appears below:

“Model of the A20-A26 fusion protein bound to the CROPs domain of Clostridioides difficile TcdA.”

The authors apologize for these errors and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
