Since publication, significant concerns have been raised about the correctness of the primers used and the quality of the results reported in the article. When approached for an explanation, the authors did not provide any of the information necessary to confirm that the appropriate primers had been used. As verifying the validity of published work is core to the integrity of the scholarly record, we are retracting the article. All authors listed in this publication have been informed. We have been informed in our decision-making by our editorial policies and the COPE guidelines.
The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as “Retracted”.
