The aim of the present investigation was to characterize a broad collection of strains tentatively identified as [<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>.]<jats:italic>trehalosi<\/jats:italic>in order to reclassify and rename this taxon to support improvements in our understanding of the pathogenesis and epidemiology of this important organism. The type strain for [<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>.]<jats:italic>trehalosi<\/jats:italic>, strain NCTC 10370<jats:sup>T<\/jats:sup>, was included along with 42 field isolates from sheep (21), cattle (14), goats (1), roe deer (3) and unknown sources (3). An extended phenotypic characterization was performed on all 43 strains. Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) was also performed on the isolates. Two of the field isolates were subjected to 16S rRNA gene sequencing. These sequences, along with five existing sequences for [<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>.]<jats:italic>trehalosi<\/jats:italic>strains and 12 sequences for other taxa in the family<jats:italic>Pasteurellaceae<\/jats:italic>, were subjected to a phylogenetic analysis. All the isolates and the reference strains were identified as [<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>.]<jats:italic>trehalosi<\/jats:italic>. A total of 17 out of 22 ovine isolates produced acid from all glycosides, while only four out of 14 bovine isolates produced acid from all glycosides. All 22 ovine isolates were haemolytic and CAMP-positive, while no other isolate was haemolytic and only two bovine isolates were CAMP-positive. Nineteen AFLP types were found within the [<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>.]<jats:italic>trehalosi<\/jats:italic>isolates. All [<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>.]<jats:italic>trehalosi<\/jats:italic>isolates shared at least 70\u200a% similarity in AFLP patterns. The largest AFLP type included the type strain and 7 ovine field isolates. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the seven strains studied (two field isolates and the five serovar reference strains) are closely related, with 98.6\u200a% or higher 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity. As both genotypic and phenotypic testing support the separate and distinct nature of these organisms, we propose the transfer of [<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>.]<jats:italic>trehalosi<\/jats:italic>to a new genus,<jats:italic>Bibersteinia<\/jats:italic>, as<jats:italic>Bibersteinia trehalosi<\/jats:italic>comb. nov.
