When this article was first published it contained the following errors:

1. instead of "Kostoula Arvanti" the name of this co-author should be correctly "Kostoula Arvaniti"

2. The following sentence in the Statistical analysis section “ Clinically relevant covariates included catheter as source, source control status …, best available therapy (BAT), Staphylococcus aureus BSI (SAB), immunocompromised status, SOFA score at baseline, Delta-SOFA …, and combination therapy …”

should correctly read:

“Clinically relevant covariates included catheter as source, source control status …, delay until adequate treatment, best available therapy (BAT), Staphylococcus aureus BSI (SAB), immunocompromised status, SOFA score at baseline, Delta-SOFA …, and combination therapy …”

3. In the Results section, the most frequent infection source was incorrectly reported as catheter-related. It should have been respiratory. The corrected sentence is: “The source of the HA-BSI was most often a respiratory infection (n = 180, 33%).”

4. Accordingly, in Table 1 and the abstract, “catheter”, “respiratory” and “soft tissue” were mistakenly inverted. The corrected Table 1 is provided here.

5. The abstract should have stated: “The most common infection source was respiratory (33%), most common microorganisms were Enterobacterales (39%).”

The authors apologize for these errors and any inconvenience they may have caused.
