The pain killer is an anti-inflammatory, the bacteria is something that is normally present ON the skin, and only causes problems when it gets into an open wound; my guess is that ibuprofen doesn't 'cause' the infection, but as an anti-inflammatory, it hinders the body's natural defense mechanism against infection of an open wound.
