Milk fat globules (MFGs) are produced by mammary epithelial cells (MECs) and originate from intracellular lipid droplets with a wide size distribution. In the mammary gland and milk, bacteria can thrive on MFGs. Herein, we aimed to investigate whether the response of MECs to the bacterial secretome is dependent on the MFG size used as a substrate for the bacteria, and whether the response differs between pathogenic and commensal bacteria. We used secretomes from both <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> and ...[more]
