The authors have discovered an error in the presentation of the mitochondrial DNA haplotyping analysis described in Table 2 and wish to correct the data. The row that displays genotypes at nucleotide position 11,374 is incorrect and should be replaced by a new row that displays genotypes at nucleotide position 11,360. The corrected Table 2 is reprinted below. The authors apologize for any inconvenience this error may have caused other investigators in the field.
Mitochondrial DNA haplotype grouping of 43 strains of rats
We identified four haplotype groups by genotype analysis of 16 mitochondrial DNA polymorphisms in 43 rat strains including the SHR and BN progenitor strains. The specific variants present at each nucleotide site in the SHR and BN strains are listed in Tables 1 and Supplemental Table 1.
aHaplotype Group 1 consisted of 20 strains: ACI/Ztm, BC/CpbU, BDE/Han, BDIV/Ifz, BDIX/Han, BH/Ztm, BUF/Han, COP/OlaHsd, DA/Han, F344/Han, NAR/SaU, NEDH/K, PVG/OlaHsdCp, R/A, RHA/Kun, SDL/Ipvc, SPRD-Cu3/Han, SR/JrIpvc, SS/JrIpvc, WF/Han. Group 2 consisted of 17 strains: AS/Ztm, AVN/Orl, BBWB/Mol, BDII/Han, BS/Ztm, LE/Han, LEW/OlaHsd, LOU/C, MNS/Gro, MW/Hsd, OM/Han, SD/Rij, SDH/Ztu, WF/Gut, WIST/Nhg, WOK.1A/K, WOK/w/K. Group 3 consisted of four strains: SHR/Ola, OKA/Wsl, GC/Kun, WKY/M. Group 4 consisted of two strains: BN/Ola, DZB/Gro. The DZB/Gro strain was derived by a cross of BN rats with AO rats.

FadB was inadvertently omitted from the sentence on page 731 describing the enzymes involved in beta-oxidation in M. tuberculosis. The sentence should have read:
“FadD (acyl-CoA synthetase) catalyses the formation of acyl-CoA thioesters that are then processively oxidized by FadE, EchA, FadB, and FadA (Cole et al. 1998).”
In addition, the page range for the Hagedorn and Soldati 2007 reference was incorrect, the corrected reference is as follows:
Hagedorn, M. and Soldati, T. 2007. Flotillin and RacH modulate the intracellular immunity of Dictyostelium to Mycobacterium marinum infection. Cell Microbiol. 9: 2716–2733.
