Abstract

Bibersteinia trehalosi causes disease in ruminants worldwide, and is associated with pneumonia or septicemia in sheep. Although infection with B. trehalosi is uncommon in cattle, it is a potential pathogen responsible for bovine respiratory disease (BRD). Anecdotal reports of increasing prevalence of B. trehalosi isolated from cattle with severe disease have heightened producer and veterinary awareness.
