Chromobacterium violaceum is a Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic bacterium that can cause severe infections in humans, including septicemia, lung, liver, brain, spleen, and lymphatic system infections. It produces the pigment violacein, which is delivered via outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) to kill competing bacteria. The bacterium regulates virulence through quorum sensing systems, such as CviI/CviR, which control biofilm formation, violacein production, and the type 3 secretion system (T3SS). The T3SS delivers effector proteins that activate the NLRC4 inflammasome, leading to pyroptosis and immune clearance of the pathogen. C. violaceum also produces other virulence factors, including chitinase, collagenase, and lipases, which contribute to its pathogenicity. The bacterium is a model organism for studying quorum sensing and has been implicated in various infections, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. C. violaceum infections are often fatal, with a high mortality rate, and are resistant to many antibiotics. However, natural compounds such as palmitic acid have shown potential as anti-quorum agents and immunomodulators. Palmitic acid can reduce the expression of virulence factors and enhance the NLRC4 inflammasome, leading to more effective clearance of the pathogen. This dual mode of action makes palmitic acid a promising candidate for treating C. violaceum infections. The study highlights the importance of targeting both quorum sensing and the host immune response in the treatment of C. violaceum infections. By disrupting quorum sensing, the bacterium's ability to cause damage and evade defenses is reduced. Simultaneously, activating the NLRC4 inflammasome enhances the host's ability to clear the infection through pyroptosis. This dual strategy offers a novel approach to combatting C. violaceum infections and may help reduce the development of antimicrobial resistance. The research suggests that identifying a single phytochemical compound with multiple treatment efficiencies against infectious pathogens could be a key to effective treatment. Palmitic acid is proposed as a potential candidate for this dual therapeutic strategy.Chromobacterium violaceum is a Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic bacterium that can cause severe infections in humans, including septicemia, lung, liver, brain, spleen, and lymphatic system infections.
