Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is caused by staphylococcus aureus and streptococcus pyogenes bacteria that multiply and can start to produce toxins that can enter the body and overwhelm the immune system within those lacking immunity or with compromised immune systems. This will occur when bacteria are allowed to multiply within the body or within a wound on the body.
