We report a fatal case of Chromobacterium violaceum septicemia in a 42-year-old farm worker living in the French West Indies. The bacteria found in the muddy soil and the stagnant water of tropical and subtropical regions is rarely a source of human infection. (c) 2007 Elsevier Masson SAS. Tous droits reserves.
