Sure: Micro emboli of organism can lead to brain abcess and worse plus vasoconstrictors used to support blood prressure in sepsis can critcally constrict blood vessels leading to thing cerebral ischemia these these things can combine to cost limbs the brain is infinitely more sensitive to vascular interruptions than limbs.

No: Your e.Coli infection years ago would have nothing to do with having a recent stroke. The two would be unrelated.
