Volume 70, no. 8, p. 4261-4272, 2002. Repeated sequencing has determined that the IS1151 sequences associated with the plasmid cpe gene of some type A isolates are not defective; therefore, the following corrections should be made.
Page 4269, column 1, lines 6-15 from bottom: "Sequencing of the
1.1-kb cpe-IS1151 PCR product amplified from isolate F4013 DNA confirmed the presence of sequences resembling IS1151
0.3 kbp downstream of the F4013 plasmid cpe gene (Fig. 1). The amplified F4013 sequences were determined to be
90% homologous to IS1151 but appear to be defective, as they contain several nonsense mutations. In addition, this sequencing analysis revealed that the region of F4013 DNA containing IS1151-like sequences also has an overlapping ORF (in a different reading frame from IS1151) sharing partial amino acid homology with transposase 11" should read "Sequencing of the
1.1-kb cpe-IS1151 PCR product amplified from isolate F4013 DNA confirmed the presence of sequences resembling IS1151
0.3 kbp downstream of the F4013 plasmid cpe gene (Fig. 1). The amplified F4013 sequences were determined to be
90% homologous to IS1151."
Page 4270, column 2, line 2 from bottom: "(which are defective)" should be deleted.
