Correction to: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-54236-0, published online 14 February 2024

The original version of this Article contained an error, where 101 was incorrectly written as 104.

As a result, in the “Materials and Methods” section, under the subheading “Manual preconcentration of bacteria in PBS and blood”,

“One milliliter of either PBS or blood, containing bacterial concentrations ranging from 104 to 104 CFU/mL, was mixed with 200 μL of Van-PDA-MNPs or Al-PDA-MNPs at a concentration of 1011 particles/mL.”

now reads:

“One milliliter of either PBS or blood, containing bacterial concentrations ranging from 101 to 104 CFU/mL, was mixed with 200 μL of Van-PDA-MNPs or Al-PDA-MNPs at a concentration of 1011 particles/mL.”

The original Article has been corrected.
