In the original publication [1], the strain name “Bifidobacterium longum CECT-7347” was mistakenly written as “Bifidobacterium longum CECT-7384” in the manuscript.
The following correction has been made to the Title:
“Effects of Heat-Treated Bifidobacterium longum CECT-7347 Combined with Fibersol-2 on the Intestinal Health of Cats Submitted to an Abrupt Dietary Change: A Randomized Controlled Study”.
Three corrections have been made to the Simple Summary as follows:
“… Incorporating functional additives, like heat-treated Bifidobacterium longum CECT-7347 combined with Fibersol-2, may ameliorate feline gastrointestinal functionality… In this study, we investigated the effects of providing or not providing heat-treated Bifidobacterium longum CECT-7347 combined with Fibersol-2 on intestinal barrier integrity, intestinal inflammation, and intestinal microbiota composition in cats undergoing abrupt dietary change. Our study demonstrates that supplementing heat-treated Bifidobacterium longum CECT-7347 combined with Fibersol-2 improved the intestinal health of adult cats subjected to abrupt dietary change.”
Four corrections have been made to the Abstract as follows:
“Abrupt dietary change can disrupt the intestinal balance in felines. This study aimed to assess the impact of heat-treated Bifidobacterium longum CECT-7347 combined with Fibersol-2 on the intestinal health of adult cats before and after dietary change… From day 1 to day 14, the control group received a lower protein (33%) concentration (LPF) diet, while the treated group received the same LPF diet supplemented with 0.16% functional additives, consisting of Bifidobacterium longum CECT-7347 combined with Fibersol-2… The results suggest that the use of heat-treated Bifidobacterium longum CECT-7347 combined with Fibersol-2 may improve gastrointestinal function in cats by reducing serum LPS levels and fecal pH, while increasing fecal sIgA levels… In summary, the addition of heat-treated Bifidobacterium longum CECT-7347 combined with Fibersol-2 contributes to improving the intestinal health of adult cats affected by abrupt dietary change.”
The following correction has been made to the Keywords:
“abrupt dietary change; Bifidobacterium longum CECT-7347; Fibersol-2; fecal microbiota”.
The following correction has been made to the Introduction:
“… This study marks the first attempt to combine heat-treated Bifidobacterium longum CECT-7347 with Fibersol-2 in cats, aiming at exploring their influence on the intestinal health of cats undergoing an abrupt dietary change…”
A correction has been made to Section 2.1. Diets as follows:
“The functional additives (ADM (Shanghai) Management Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China) contain heat-treated Bifidobacterium longum CECT-7347 and Fibersol-2…”
Two corrections have been made to the Discussion as follows:
“We investigated the effects of heat-treated Bifidobacterium longum CECT-7347 combined with Fibersol-2 on gastrointestinal tract stability in adult cats undergoing a diet transition from an LPF diet to an HPF diet. The hypothesis of the study was that the treated group, receiving heat-treated Bifidobacterium longum CECT-7347 combined with Fibersol-2, would exhibit a greater ability to adapt to the new diet composition…”
The following correction has been made to Citation:
“…Effects of Heat-Treated Bifidobacterium longum CECT-7347 Combined with Fibersol-2 on the Intestinal Health of Cats Submitted to an Abrupt Dietary Change: A Randomized Controlled Study…”
The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. These corrections were approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
