The aim of this study was to investigate whether game meat has an inherent antimicrobial activity. To test this, game samples from impala, nyala, warthog, wildebeest, ostrich, zebra and as controls; beef, mutton and pork were challenged with S. aureus and the growth determined after overnight incubation at 37 °C. Concluded from the results of this study, meat from game animals repressed growth of S. aureus much stronger than that of domestic animals. Further studies to determine whether this phenomenon is applicable to other animals are in progress.
