Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Chromobacterium is a genus of fourteen species with validly published names, most often found in soil and waters in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. The most well-known species of the genus, C. violaceum, occasionally causes clinically relevant infections; cases of soft tissue infections with septicemia and fatal outcomes have been described.
METHODS: Here, we present a clinical case report of a 79-year-old man from Sweden with a soft-tissue infection and septicemia. The pathogen was identified as a strain of Chromobacterium species, but not C. violaceum. The patient was treated with clindamycin and ciprofloxacin and recovered well.
CONCLUSIONS: This case report demonstrates the potential of Chromobacterium species as infectious agents in immunocompetent patients. It also indicates the existence of a novel species.

摘要：
背景：Chromobacterium是十四个物种的属，具有有效的公开名称，最常见于世界各地热带和亚热带地区的土壤和水域。该属最知名的物种，C.紫罗兰，偶尔会引起临床相关的感染;软组织感染伴败血症和致命结局的病例已有描述.
方法：这里，我们提供了一例来自瑞典的79岁男性软组织感染和败血症的临床病例报告.病原体被鉴定为一株色杆菌，但不是紫罗兰。患者接受克林霉素和环丙沙星治疗，恢复良好。
结论：本病例报告显示了色杆菌作为免疫功能正常患者感染因子的潜力。这也表明了一个新物种的存在。
