How does sepsis actually work?

I’m often very confused by this. The explanation that I usually find is that sepsis is when bacteria enter the bloodstream but other explanations say it your body cannot fight off an infection.
How can it physically enter the bloodstream when someone has a respiratory infection for example?
Some people have infected cuts but don’t have sepsis. How is this possible if blood is exposed? Wouldn’t that get into the bloodstream?
