Not slipspace from Halo, ME FTL. The Flood don't give a sh*t about how many forces they lose.

And not infecting, no. Even if the Gravemind was somehow able to access computer systems and personally interact with Cortana on a digital level, the knowledge to access the Reapers' systems never existed on an organic level. I'm just saying that whenever the Reapers land on a planet or slow down enough in space, the Flood would probably do what they did with the Forerunners, smash infected ships into them (or just find the door to get in like Saren did in ME1) and just throw themselves at everything until the Reaper is dead.
