I do not understand the question. Do you mean whether a localized infection can result in bacteremia? Or something else?

Hey Charon ! Thanks for sparing time.

 

I mean "if a protein is expressed locally in some organ after the infection, can we detect it in blood after bacteremia"?

This is a bit clearer but still very vague. Protein from host or bacterium? And I do not quite understand the connection to bacterimia. Many proteins that are produced by the host either are secreted or leak into the bloodstream (either by active transport or inadvertently during cell degradation). That happens independent of infection. The latter can change type and amount, depending on what precisely happened and what type of damage has been caused.
