The authors wish to make the following corrections to this paper [1]. The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
  • 2. Material and Methods
  • 2.1. Collection of Sample and Preparation of Plant Extract
In the original publication, some information about the plant material and the collection date was missing. The correct information appears below.
The leaves of M. africana were collected by Qudsia Sarwer from Kahutta Azad Jammu and Kashmir in April 2021. The plant was identified by Dr. Muhammad Shoaib Amjad with the help of Flora of Pakistan and a voucher specimen (voucher number 278) was deposited in the Herbarium of the Department of Botany, Women University of Azad Jammu and Kashmir Bagh (Section 2.1).
  • 2.4. Biological Activities
  • 2.4.1. Antibacterial Activity
In the original publication, the information of the number of bacterial strains is incorrect.
The correct information appears below.
Four putative bacterial pathogens, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aurous and Klebsiella pneumoniae, were used for antibacterial activity.
  • Figure 1
In the original publication, the reference to the origin of the Myrsine africana picture was missing. It is now cited in the figure legend as follows:
The image of M. africana used in this figure can be found on Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myrsine_africana), last accessed on 17 September 2022.
  • Funding
Some information was missing from the funding section. It has now been added as follows:
No funds were exchanged between the collaborating countries.
  • Acknowledgments
Some information was missing from the acknowledgement section. It has now been added as follows:
We are also thankful to the National Institute of Laser and Optronics (NILOP) and the University of Azad Jammu & Kashmir Muzaffarabad for providing characterization facilities for nanoparticles.
