Following a post-publication editorial quality review, the Editorial Office identified a citation inconsistency in the above article. The authors reviewed the concern and confirmed the required correction. This correction involves citation clarification only and does not affect the experimental dataset, methods, results, figures, tables, statistical analyses, or conclusions of the study.

Reference correction

• Ref. [4] The citation supporting the statement regarding anaerobic growth systems (GasPak and Anaerogen) in the Discussion section was incorrect. The statement has been revised, and the relevant citation has been corrected to Ref. [1] (Dekio et al., 2021), which supports the requirement for anoxic conditions for the growth of Cutibacterium species.

Corrected reference

Ref. [1]. Dekio I, Asahina A, Shah HN. Unravelling the eco-specificity and pathophysiological properties of Cutibacterium species in the light of recent taxonomic changes. Anaerobe, (2021); 71(102411): 19.

This correction does not affect the study's data, results, or conclusions.
