RE: "SALMONELLA TYPHIMURIUM INFECTIONS TRANSMITTED BY CHLORINE-PRETREATED CLOVER SPROUT SEEDS"
In the paper by Brooks et al. published in the December 1, 2001,issue of the Journal, paragraph 4 on page 1026 contains an errorin wording. The penultimate sentence of the paragraph shouldread, "Fecal coliform bacteria have been recovered from sproutsgrown under aseptic conditions using seeds from which bacteriacould not be isolated before sprouting."
The Journal and the authors regret the error.
