Can bacteria infections in other parts of your body cause bacteria in Capsular contracture ?

Blutee
Hello, first, if I'm correct, I heard that CC is actually a bacteria ? If so, could the CC have been caused by a bacterial infection elsewhere in the body ? Or the reverse ? Can CC cause a bacterial infection elsewhere in the body ? Will Antibiodics work for CC ? What is CC causes by ? Is it partly a Bacteria infection ?
