The diagnosis and management of <i>Chromobacterium </i> infection is always challenging due to drugs resistance and relapse nature of the organism, resulting high mortality. We reported a case of 33-year old man, admitted with a history of sharp injury at patellar region of left leg during tree cutting. <i>C. violaceum </i> was isolated from post-surgical wound pus. The patient was successfully treated with combination antibiotic therapy. Awareness related <i>C. violaceum </i> infection especially in tropical and subtropical regions may be helpful to fruitful outcome. <i>J Microbiol Infect Dis 2018; 8(2):76-79 </i> <o:p> </o:p> </span> </p>}, number={02}
