Chromobacterium violaceum - A rare infection

Emerging infectious diseases have become more important
in recent decades. Many developing countries are at risk of frequent, non-natural disasters, poor living conditions and lack of effective diagnostic laboratories. The CDC (Centers for Disease Control) has identified the importance of emerging infection as a source of threat for all living things and spreads knowledge worldwide. Microbes continue to survive despite the new generation of antibiotics. There is a recent emergence of several viral and bacterial infections after many decades of silence, and gaining new advantages of mutation in the cause of atypical presentations and morbidity and mortality.

We present a rare case of Chromobacterium violaceum isolate bacteria. A girl of seven years, young people are presented with fever, toxicity, and found that it has a very furious ulcer the size of 4 inches in the left deltoid region with small ulcers over the left knee and atrophic nails. Few empirical recipes with a new generation cephalosporin - Cefotoxaime not bring healing, and reduce toxicities, a routine culture sample of the ulcer revealed a simple means uncommon, the new isolate and characterize as Chromobacterium violaceum, knows to live as a saprophyte in soil and contaminated water is a low bacteria causing occasional localized infections virulance. , On a few occasions and in immunocompromised patients, may cause septicemia with multiple abscesses in internal organs, urinary tract infection and diarrhea and caries a high mortality in disseminated infection. The laboratory culture is easy and produces purple pigment called vilocein profuse. The bacteria that are characterized as Gram negative, mobile, and few biochemical tests identify the strains. making microbiologists to identify and report the early effective cure. The patient recovered fully present with amikacin after the pattern of sensitivity.

The importance of microbes found in very few cases reached the lime light. A major study of peer review reported that the first strain reported in 1927, a total of 62 case studies, 24 patients survived, 32 died and 6 had unknown outcome. There may be many cases in the world few will be reported.

The importance of microbiology laboratories is for the rapid identification and reporting can be cured with home remedies as most of emerging infections respond to several drugs and the choice rests with the optimal selection based on sensitivity, as resistance not a threat to the new, new and rare isolated relationship of microbes to human beings was the dynamic process, the key is still by our immune system, and the environment in which we live. And the man did business leads to many outbreaks of communicable diseases in the developing world and giving way for microbes to interfere in human beings the modern generation of microbiologists should be familiar with the identification of microbes with new generation of technological advances

Today the exchange of knowledge on microbes through the World Wide Web (WWW) to help accelerate the dissemination of knowledge and the lives of many in the developing world can be saved.

The present study on the isolation of Chromobacterium violaceum is
