Which organism is not listed among the tattoo-related pathogens in the material?

• A. Pseudomonas aeruginosa
• B. Mycobacterium chelonae
• C. Group A hemolytic streptococci
• D. Escherichia coli

Answer: (D)

Tattoo-related infections are typically linked to organisms that thrive in moist environments, contaminated inks, or non-sterile equipment. Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Mycobacterium chelonae are classic risks that have been documented in tattoo settings due to their association with water and improper sterilization. Group A beta-hemolytic streptococci can also cause skin infections after tattooing. Escherichia coli, while capable of causing wound infections in some contexts, is not usually listed as a tattoo-specific pathogen in standard materials. So the organism not listed among tattoo-related pathogens is Escherichia coli.
