Correction to: Nature Microbiology https://doi.org/10.1038/s41564-025-02115-3, published online 8 September 2025.

In the version of the article initially published, in Fig. 1a, “SjD (n = 25)” and “ESSDAI ≥ 14 (n = 23)” should have read “SjD (n = 35)” and “ESSDAI ≥ 14 (n = 12)”, respectively. The figure has now been amended in the HTML and PDF versions of the article.
