Correction to: The pathogenic intestinal spirochaete Brachyspira pilosicoli forms a diverse recombinant species demonstrating some local clustering of related strains and potential for zoonotic spread

The article published in 2013 [1] described the use of the availableBrachyspira multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme [2] to characterize the population structure of the intestinal spirocheteBrachyspira pilosicoli. It used sequences of seven loci that were amplified from 131 strains that had been isolated from different geographical origins and species.
