Mannheimia haemolytica suele asociarse a neumonía mortal13. Los terneros suelen infectarse inmediatamente después del nacimiento, debido al contacto nasal con sus madres. En animales sanos, la Mannheimia se comporta como comensal hasta que aparezcan factores estresantes. La prevención de la ERB no debe basarse en el uso habitual de antibióticos sino en las prácticas de bienestar y manejo, como la vacunación, para controlar esta enfermedad costosa en el ganado bovino.
