Chromobacterium is a rod-shaped, Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic bacteria with cosmopolitan distribution. Just about 160 violaceum incidents have been reported globally, but then once infected, it has the ability to cause deadly septicemia, and infections in lungs, liver, brain, spleen, lymphatic systems that might lead death. C. produces utilizes violacein kill compete an ecological niche. Violacein hydrophobic bisindole delivered through efficient transport route termed outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) aqueous environment. OMVs are small, spherical segments detached from of Gram-negative bacteria. OMV secretions controlled by mechanism called quorum sensing system CviI / CviR , which enables cell-to-cell communication between them regulation various virulence factors such as biofilm formation, biosynthesis.
