Pseudomonas and Brochothrix are the main spoilage organisms in pork, and each of these plays an essential role in the spoilage process. However, the effect of co-contamination of these two organisms in pork has not been elucidated. The changing bacterial communities during spontaneous spoilage of pork at 4 °C were evaluated using high-throughput sequencing. The dominant spoilage bacteria were isolated and these were identified as Pseudomonas fragi C6 and Brochothrix thermosphacta S5. Chilled pork was then experimentally contaminated with these strains, individually and in combination, and the progression of spoilage was assessed by analyzing various physicochemical indicators. These included total viable counts (TVC), pH, color, total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), and detection of microbial metabolites. After 7 days of chilled storage, co-contaminated pork produced higher TVC and TVB-N values than mono-contaminated samples. Metabolomic analysis identified a total of 8,084 metabolites in all three groups combined. Differential metabolites were identified, which were involved in 38 metabolic pathways. Among these pathways, the biosynthesis of alkaloids derived from purine and histidine was identified as an important pathway related to spoilage. Specifically, histidine, histamine, AMP, IMP, GMP, succinic acid, and oxoglutaric acid were identified as potential spoilage biomarkers. The study showed that the combined presence of P. fragi C6 and B. thermosphacta S5 bacteria makes chilled pork more prone to spoilage, compared to their individual presence. This study provides insights that can assist in applying appropriate techniques to maintain quality and safety changes in meat during storage and further the assessment of freshness.
