The journal retracts the article [1] cited above.
Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the publisher regarding the improper use of images. The FESEM image of dual-culture (SA+CA) biofilms under the 1/2 MIC in Figure 2 is a duplication of the image under 32 MIC in Figure 7. The second duplication concerns two images published in two papers: Figure 2A in paper [1] is duplicated from Figure 2A in the published paper [2].
Adhering to our complaints procedure, an investigation was conducted that confirmed the extent of the issues, and the article is therefore retracted.
This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of the journal.
The authors agreed to this retraction.
