Correction to: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-87317-9, published online 08 February 2025

The original version of this Article contained error an error in the legend of Figure 5, where the legend was duplicated from Figure 4.

As a result, the legend of Figure 5:

“Comparative genomic analysis of S. aureus between AD patients and healthy controls. (A) Comparison of the proportion of different ST types in S. aureus. (B) Comparison of the proportion of VFGs in S. aureus. (C) Comparison of the proportion of ARGs in S. aureus. The statistical significance was measured by the chi-square test.”

now reads:

“Pan-genome-wide analysis results of accessory gene for S. aureus isolates from AD and HC. Volcano plot of different accessory genes between AD and HC. The y-axis represents the -log10 (Benjamini_H_p) values derived from the genome-wide association analysis. The x-axis represents the accessory gene prevalence in AD minus the accessory gene prevalence in HC. Blue dots indicate differential genes with higher prevalence in HC. Red dots indicate differential genes with higher prevalence in AD. P value was adjusted using the Benjamini-Hochberg method.”

The original Article has been corrected.
