What Does Foul Odour From A C-section Incision Site Indicate?

Hi , my wife had a c section 9-13-2017.. readmitted 9-17-2017 for infection in c section wound. After a 2 day stay and antibiotics we have returned home. I noticed today 9-25-17, while changing the gauze covering her incision, that there was a slight bleach odor on the gauze. Is this normal or concerning? Thank you
