Chromobacterium violaceum is a free-living Gram-negative bacillus usually found in the water and soil in tropical regions, which causes infections in humans. Chromobacteriosis is characterized by rapid dissemination and high mortality. The aim of this study was to detect the genetic variability among C. violaceum type strain ATCC 12472, and seven isolates from the environment and one from a pulmonary secretion from a chromobacteriosis patient from Ilhéus, Bahia.
