Mannheimia haemolytica from non-diseased calves. Mannheimia haemolytica USMARC_2286

Mannheimia haemolytica is commonly found associated with severe respiratory illness in cattle, a disease that costs up to a billion dollars per year in total losses to the beef cattle industry. This bacteria is also found in the upper respiratory system of non-diseased animals, and the overall project is to determine if any correlation exists between genomic features of M. haemolytica strains and their passive or pathogenic existence.

溶血曼海姆杆菌（Mannheimia haemolytica）常与牛的重症呼吸道疾病伴生，该疾病每年给肉牛产业造成高达10亿美元的总经济损失。该细菌亦可定植于健康动物的上呼吸道内，本项目的整体目标为明确溶血曼海姆杆菌菌株的基因组特征与其非致病定植或致病状态之间是否存在相关性。
