Retraction of: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-53721-w, published online 09 February 2024
The Editors have retracted this Article.
After publication, concerns about similarities between this Article and a separate publication with no common authors1 were brought to the attention of the Editors. Specifically, Figures 1 and 4-7 and Tables 1 and 2 are all similar to material published in that article, and there are also significant textual similarities between the two publications.
Serge Raoul Dzonde Naoussi, Reagan Jean Jacques Molu, Wulfran Fendzi Mbasso, Mohit Bajaj, Milkias Berhanu, and Salah Kamel agree with this retraction. Kenfack Tsobze Saatong and Mohamed Louzazni did not respond to the correspondence from the Editors about this retraction.
