HIGHLIGHTS Isolates were identified as E. persicina, Erwinia spp., and Pluralibacter sp. Optimum growth of two Erwinia spp. and one Pluralibacter sp. occurred between 30.1 and 35.0°C. Growth in TSB was observed at 5°C for both Erwinia spp. and one Pluralibacter sp. Optimum histamine production occurred from 25 to 30°C, pH 4 to 6, and 0 to 4% NaCl. Growth and histamine production were inhibited in tuna salad with 2% DV added.
