Mannheimia indoligenes is a species of Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic bacteria in the family Pasteurellaceae. It was first described in 2024 based on a collection of 25 strains belonging to clade V of the genus Mannheimia, primarily isolated from cattle.[1]

The type strain, M14.4T (= DSM 116804T = CCUG 77347T), was originally isolated from the tongue of a healthy cow in Scotland between 1959 and 1961.[1] However, other strains included in the species were isolated from a variety of tissues and from cattle with clinical disease. This suggests that M. indoligenes may form part of both the commensal and pathogenic microbiota in cattle.
