The prevalence of specific bacterial pathogens identified by testing. Prevalence was compared between the prior systematic review and studies performed since that time (2006–2015). The number of studies in each subgroup (n) is included. Comparison of median values between groups was analyzed using Wilcoxon signed-rank testing
