In the mammary glands, various antimicrobial compo- nents are produced and secreted into milk [ 4 ]. the epithe- lial cells of the mammary glands produce β-defensin 1, lactoferrin, s100a7, and cathelicidin 7 [ 6 , 7 ], which show nonspecific antibacterial activity against many pathogens, including e. coli and s. aureus . defensins and cathelicidins can destroy microbial membranes via cationic charges [ 8 ], lactoferrin exhibits bacteriostatic effects through its bid- ing capacity with iron, which is required for the growth of pathogens [ 9 ], and s100a7 has antimicrobial activity against [ 10 ]. therefore, the enhanced levels of these antimicrobial components in milk help prevent the growth of pathogens and mastitis
