We describe the epidemiology of invasive group B streptococcal (GBS) disease among non-pregnant Alaska adults using statewide surveillance data. During 2004-2023, 880 cases of invasive GBS disease were reported for an age-adjusted annual incidence of 9.1 (95% CI, 8.5-9.7) cases per 100,000 adults. Incidence increased 1.9-fold (95% CI, 1.6-2.2) between 2004-2013 and 2014-2023. Adults aged ≥65 years had a 4.4-fold higher risk of invasive disease compared to younger adults, and 47% of adults with invasive GBS had diabetes. Healthcare providers should be aware of populations at increased risk, potentially allowing for more prompt treatment.
