Abstract
Withdrawal Notice: The University of Tulsa Research Misconduct Investigating Committee has found that Dr. Gad improperly submitted the manuscript “Bacteria from hypersaline environments: a bioactivity reservoir of anti-methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus” (Gad, 2017)[1] to PeerJ Preprints. Dr Gad assigned himself as sole author. However, based on the evidence acquired by the committee, the committee found that Dr Fakhr (PhD Research Advisor of Dr. Gad) made significant contributions to the research that warrant co-authorship; in fact senior authorship. Furthermore, Dr Fakhr did not approve the final version on the manuscript. Therefore at the request of The University of Tulsa Research Misconduct Investigating Committee this preprint is Withdrawn from publication.
