It is very hard to know for certain, but the most likely source of infection around the jaw is the mouth or teeth. Bacteria can get into the blood stream from your mouth every morning when you brush your teeth. This is a very common thing...what is not so common is when the bacteria causes an infection to another spot. And yes bone is living tissue that has a blood supply..which would explain how bacteria could get into the bone.
