If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description.

### input:
could streptooccocus bacteria remain in jaccuzzi jets and infect another person? the renter that was here before me, had strep. she said it was misdiagnosed and in a strange way went to her kidney causing life threatening disease which she is still fighting. she said she tried to cure it with herbs and acupunture,etc. she used a lot of essential oils in her jacuzzi bath. when I moved in the jacuzzi jets were ejecting very dark black stuff. I clean and tried to disinfect it many times and ran the jets thru until they ejected no more. Also I used vinegar to clean them. After I thought they were clean I used the tub a few times and once more stuff came out. Could the strep that had infected her somehow infected me? does the strep bacteria remain in and on surfaces even after cleaning? could it enter me? age 60, height 5 1 , 128lbs. hereditary high cholesterol.

### output:

The type of strep complication the renter had would not necessarily occur in you, even if you got strep. Certain types of strep can cause kidney injury in people who are susceptible, but it is a particular reaction of the body in only some people. That being said, all sorts of bacteria and other types of infectious organisms can reside in hot tubs and jacuzzi jets and cause infections. A very thorough cleaning by people specialized in this may be necessary. If stuff is still coming out after you've tried to disinfect them several times, I would suggest that this be looked into. In the meantime it would be best to avoid using the tub or at least the jacuzzi jets until this is settled. If you are not having any symptoms or lesions on the skin, you are probably okay for now. Hope this answers your question.
