Gram negative bacteria is bad. Streptococcus for an example is a gram negative bacteria. It usually occurs in hospital thus they called it “nosocomial infection” which means it is hospital acquired infections. Your mom was easily proned to bacterial infection and hospital is a breeding ground for that. I just hope she gets well fast and get out of there. Hospital is not a place to be when you’re sick. Also, she might also be at risk for infective endocarditis, which is infection of the heart muscle. That can be pretty fetal. But with antibiotic use these days, the bacteria can be kept under control. I hope it’s nothing too bad, best of luck to your mom.
