Mannheimia is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria in the family Pasteurellaceae. Members of this genus are typically facultatively anaerobic, non-spore-forming, and non-motile coccobacilli.[1][2]

Species of Mannheimia are primarily associated with mucosal surfaces of domestic and wild animals, especially ruminants. The most well-known species, Mannheimia haemolytica, is an important pathogen in veterinary medicine and is a leading cause of bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC).
