The original version of this Article contained errors. In Figure 6a, the PD-DLSF panel incorrectly showed two images of one sample. In Figure 8A, there was duplication between the actin staining image for Ti/1d and actin staining image for DLSF/3d.


The correct Figure 6 and 8 and their accompanying legends appear below.

Figure 6
figure 6

(a) Representative SEM images of S. aureus attached samples, which were incubated in growth medium containing 106 mL−1 bacterial cells for 24 h. Green arrows indicate intact bacterial cells, red arrows indicate lesions and distortions on the cell membrane of microorganisms. Biofilm observation by Gram’s crystal violet staining: (b) biomass of adhered biofilms; (c) Visualization of biofilm formation.

The cytocompatibility and osteoblastic functions of MC3T3-E1: (a) the staining of cytoskeletal actin fibers (green) and nuclei (blue); (e) the degree of ALP activity; (f) the quantification of collagen secretion and calcium deposition.
