Our bodies do not need bacteria to digest meat. During digestion, the stomach contains a powerful mixture of an enzyme named pepsin and hydrochloric acid. These two compounds compliment each other's strength to produce a powerful brine that breaks certain peptide bonds (bonds between individual amino acids in proteins), reducing the digested protein to tiny bits. The partially-digested proteins then move on to the duodenum of the intestine, where a vast array of specialized protein-breaking enzymes finish the job the pepsin started. Hope this helped.
