Chromobacterium violaceum endocarditis and hepatic abscesses treated successfully with meropenem and ciprofloxacin.

Abstract
Chromobacterium violaceum infection is uncommon but potentially fatal, with a clinical picture similar to melioidosis but with different antibiotic sensitivities and treatment. This infection can involve any organ, but we believe this is the first reported case of C. violaceum endocarditis.
