Error in Figure
In the original publication [1], errors were present in Figures 6–9. These errors were due to inaccuracies introduced during the assembly of the figure panels, particularly the accidental overlapping of the plate panels caused by typographical errors in the reconstruction process.
Program 1 (25 min): microbial growth from untreated (A) and treated (B) S. aureus contaminated-fabrics; untreated (C) and treated (D) E. coli-contaminated fabrics; untreated (E) and treated (F) C. albicans-contaminated fabrics. Data represent three independent experiments’ mean ± standard deviation (SD).
Program 2 (45 min): microbial growth from untreated (A) and treated (B) S. aureus-contaminated fabrics; untreated (C) and treated (D) E. coli-contaminated fabrics; untreated (E) and treated (F) C. albicans-contaminated fabrics. Data represent three independent experiments’ mean ± standard deviation (SD).
Effect of ventilation against S. aureus, E. coli and C. albicans deposited on 40% cotton–60% polyester fabrics. (A) Untreated contaminated fabrics. (B) Treated contaminated fabrics.
Effect of ozone against S. aureus, E. coli, and C. albicans deposited on 5 layers of 40% cotton–60% polyester fabric. (A) Untreated contaminated fabrics. (B) Treated contaminated fabrics.
