There are researchers from countries with large populations of wild boars, who have studied microbial porting of this cynegetic species (Acevedo, 2007). In our country, there are few such statistics in wild boar. This aspect encouraged us to do a study on porting some microorganisms with toxigenic potential after consumption of game meat, using a hunting fund from a certain area, unstudied until now. From meat samples harvested from 28 wild boars were isolated in a variable weight the following bacterial species with a potential toxigenic: Listeria monocytogenes (7,14%); Salmonella spp. (10,7%); Escherichia coli (42.85%); Clostridium perfringens (53,57%). It was not isolated and identified the serotype Escherichia coli O157H7. It imposes microbiological examination of wild boar meat in order to eliminate the risk of food poisoning. The observations collected until now indicates that in the slaughtering process of wild boars contamination with bacterial pathogenic microflora cannot be avoided, but only limited. Microbiological risks related to wild game species are consistent with those identified for domestic pig meat. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
