Abstract
Erratum
Unfortunately, the original version of this article [1] contained an error. There are two references in the text to the threshold for defining VAP as greater than 10^4 colony forming units/ml. These should read greater OR EQUAL to 10^4 colony forming units/ml. The error is in the abstract and in the intervention sections.
In the abstract, please replace:
Patients with clinically suspected VAP undergo BAL and VAP is confirmed by growth of a potential pathogen at [>]104 colony forming units per millilitre (CFU/ml).
With the following correct version:
Patients with clinically suspected VAP undergo BAL and VAP is confirmed by growth of a potential pathogen at [≥]104 colony forming units per millilitre (CFU/ml).
In the Interventions, please replace:
VAP is confirmed by the widely used threshold of growth of a potential pathogen at [>]104 colony forming units per ml (CFU/ml)(13).
With the following correct version:
VAP is confirmed by the widely used threshold of growth of a potential pathogen at [≥]104 colony forming units per ml (CFU/ml)(13).
