35-40% of GBS disease occurs in the elderly or in adults with chronic medical conditions.
GBS is a naturally occurring bacterium in the human body of both women and men. Since it is commonly found in the vagina, some people wonder whether GBS is a sexually transmitted disease. The answer is "No". GBS bacteria usually do not cause genital symptoms or discomfort and are not linked with increased sexual activity. Women found to carry GBS do not need to change their sexual practices. http://www.groupbstrep.org/resources/pamphlet.pdf
