The pork was artificially inoculated with two Listeria monocytogenes strains and stored for 12 days. Two packagings were used: vacuum or modified atmosphere packaging (MAP). LAB, L. monocytogenes, psychrotrophic bacteria, pH, aw, color, the metataxonomic profile and the sensorial quality of the product were evaluated. The growth of L. monocytogenes under vacuum and MAP was reduced with the use of the LAB up to 0.8 and 0.7 log10 CFU/g, respectively. LAB counts gradually increased, which was accompanied by a slight decrease in pH. In LAB samples, psychrotrophic bacteria showed a reduction at day 12 as compared to non-inoculated samples. Some minor differences were also observed among samples for color and sensory parameters. Regardless of the type of packaging, the microbiota of the marinated pork was dominated initially by Photobacterium and subsequently during storage by a diversity of LAB. The application of LAB could help to obtain a safe product, although further evaluation would be required to optimize the application of the LAB cocktail in real-scale commercial scenarios.
