In the published article, Michodigni NF, Nyachieo A, Akhwale JK, Magoma G, Ouédraogo A-S, Kimang’a AN. Formulation of phage cocktails and evaluation of their interaction with antibiotics in inhibiting carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in vitro in Kenya. Afr J Lab Med. 2022;11(1), a1803. https://doi.org/10.4102/ajlm.v11i1.1803, on page 1 the following paragraph is updated as it was incorrectly formulated:

The original incorrect wording:

The precipitated bacteriophages were members of Myoviridae, Siphoviridae and Podoviridae.

The revised and updated wording:

The precipitated bacteriophages were members of Myoviridae and Podoviridae.

In addition, on page 7 the following paragraph is updated as it was incorrectly formulated:

The original incorrect wording:

This current study revealed the presence of lytic tailed Klebsiella phages belonging to the family Myoviridae, Siphoviridae and Podoviridae in Nairobi sewage systems with relatively short latent periods and optimal burst sizes, indicating their therapeutic potential in composing phage cocktails and synergistic interaction in combination with non-sensitive antibiotic (imipenem) against carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae clinical isolate in vitro.

The revised and updated wording:

This current study revealed the presence of lytic tailed Klebsiella phages belonging to the family Myoviridae and Podoviridae in Nairobi sewage systems with relatively short latent periods and optimal burst sizes, indicating their therapeutic potential in composing phage cocktails and synergistic interaction in combination with non-sensitive antibiotic (imipenem) against carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae clinical isolate in vitro.

The authors apologise for these errors. The corrections do not change the study’s findings of significance or overall interpretation of the study’s results or the scientific conclusions of the article in any way.
