The authors of the original paper “Vaginal microbiome analysis of healthy women during different periods of gestation” (Biosci Rep. (2020), 40(7), DOI: 10.1042/BSR20201766), would like to correct the following statement from the last paragraph of the introduction in their paper:

“There are very few studies, especially in women of the yellow race in China, for the complete pregnancy period, a longitudinal study that also included the pre-pregnancy period.”

Which should have read;

“There are very few studies, especially in women of the Han nationality in China, for the complete pregnancy period, a longitudinal study that also included the pre-pregnancy period.”

The Journal and the authors apologise for this error and for any offence caused.
