Streptococcal sepsis - what does this mean

Streptococcal sepsis is a life-threatening infection caused by the bacteria streptococcus. it is usually acquired through a break in the skin, such as a wound, or through a medical procedure, such as surgery or a catheter. the bacteria can enter the bloodstream and cause a systemic inflammatory response, leading to multiple organ failure and, in some cases, death.
