An uncommon case of Chromobacterium violaceum urinary tract infection in a tertiary hospital in Ghana: a case report

Abstract

Human infection with Chromobacterium violaceum is extremely rare in Ghana. This case represents the first documented C. violaceum-associated urinary tract infection in the country and provides detailed perspectives into its biochemistry, antimicrobial susceptibility, and genomic characteristics. Greater clinical and laboratory awareness of this pathogen is essential for timely diagnosis and management of similar rare infections.
