Following the publication of this review, an interested reader alerted us to the fact that a couple of figures had been reproduced from a pair of previous publications without proper acknowledgement of the original source/authors. Figs. 2 and 3, as featured in our review, had originally appeared (with only minor modifications) as Figs. 2 and 4, respectively, in the following articles: Rottem S: Interaction of mycoplasmas with host cells. Physiol Rev 83: 417–32, 2003; and Pilo P, Vilei EM, Peterhans E, Bonvin-Klotz L, Stoffel MH, Dobbelaere D and Frey J: A metabolic enzyme as a primary virulence factor of Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides small colony. J Bacteriol 187: 6824–6831, 2005.

Permission to publish these figures was sought retrospectively from the publishers [The American Physiological Society (Fig. 2) and The American Society of Microbiology (Fig 3)]. Subsequently, Figs. 2 and 3 are reprinted in this Corrigendum, together with strap-lines that properly acknowledge the source articles.

In addition, we omitted to explain that the glycerol metabolism causing injury in host cells refers to Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides. Consequently, this information has also been inserted into the corrected legend for Fig. 3 (opposite), with a pair of supporting references.

We profusely apologize to the authors of the previous publications (Dr Joachim Frey and colleagues) for our having failed to include a proper acknowledgement of their figure, or to have credited their work appropriately.
