Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is ''an infection that migrates via the bloodstream.''

Explanation:

An infection is the invasion of pathogenic germs or microorganisms that reproduce and multiply in the body causing disease. Bones, like any other organ or tissue in the human body, can become infected. Osteomyelitis is a bone infection caused by bacteria, mainly Staphylococcus aureus, although in some cases it can also be caused by fungi. The infection can start in another part of the body and spread to the bone through the bloodstream. In this case, it usually occurs at the ends of the leg and arm bones in children and in the spinal column (vertebrae) in adults, especially the elderly.
