We request that Dr. Mouhamad Al Masalma be added as a co-author of this article. As a PhD student in the Aix-Marseille University, Dr. Al Masalma, had worked on the detection of the brain abscess agents. Unfortunately, he returned to Syria, his homeland, and due to the war in this country, could not be contacted to confirm his willingness to be a co-author of the finalized manuscript that was written in 2014 and submitted for publication in EJCMID.

The new list of authors that we propose is as follows:

Molecular revolution in the diagnosis of microbial brain abscesses

Ajay K. Mishra, Henry Dufour, Pierre-Hugues Roche, Mouhamad Al Masalma, Michel Lonjon, Didier Raoult, Pierre-Edouard Fournier

All authors agree with this erratum and author list change.

Following the journal instruction updated on 2017, the first names of the authors in the authorgroup section are expanded.
