The effect of taurine on the toll-like receptors/nuclear factor kappa B (TLRs/NF-κB) signaling pathway in Streptococcus uberis-induced mastitis in rats

► The TLRs/NF-κB signaling pathway plays an important role in S. uberis mastitis. ► Taurine may modulate inflammatory injury induced by S. uberis in mammary tissue through TLR-2 and TLR-4. ► Taurine has the ability to protect the mammary gland from damage from a S. uberis challenge.
