Historically, BRD pathogens, including Mh, have been studied using culture or PCR approaches that provided limited ability to characterize fine-scale genomic variation across communities. Here, we evaluated target-enriched (TE) shotgun sequencing, a culture-independent method capable of strain-level resolution within metagenomic data, for detecting and characterizing Mh in comparison with qPCR and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Nasal swabs (10 individual and 2 composited DNA samples per pen) and environmental samples (three ropes hung on pen rails and three water bowl swabs per pen) were collected from four pens in each of five distinct cattle populations. DNA was extracted for TE sequencing to identify Mh at both species and genomic sequence variant (GSV) levels, and to characterize antimicrobial resistance genes across the bacterial communities. qPCR was performed to quantify Mh genome copies, and 16S rRNA gene sequencing was used to assess the broader respiratory microbiome. TE sequencing identified Mh in 100% of TE-tested samples and classified multiple GSVs in all but 3 of 121 samples. GSV profiles clustered within housing groups and varied across cattle populations, indicating structured strain-level diversity. In contrast,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Mannheimia<\/jats:italic>\n                      spp. were detected in only 47.7% of samples by 16S rRNA sequencing. These findings demonstrate that TE sequencing enables sensitive, strain-level characterization of Mh in cattle and environmental samples and reveals substantial within-population genomic diversity not captured by conventional approaches.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:sec>\n                      <jats:title>IMPORTANCE<\/jats:title>\n                      <jats:p>\n                        Target-enriched shotgun sequencing enabled sensitive, strain-level detection of\n                        <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Mannheimia haemolytica<\/jats:italic>\n                        (Mh), revealing multiple co-circulating genomic sequence variants (GSVs) within and among cattle groups. This demonstrates greater genetic variability of Mh populations in beef cattle than has been previously recognized. The clustering of GSVs within housing groups, together with the overlap between respiratory and environmental samples, is consistent with the hypothesis that contagious transmission contributes to Mh ecology. These results highlight the potential utility of composite nasal swab and environmental samples for future studies evaluating relationships between Mh genomic variation and disease risk.\n                      <\/jats:p>\n                    <\/jats:sec>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1128\/spectrum.04049-25","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,14]],"date-time":"2026-07-14T13:03:39Z","timestamp":1784034219000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["<i>Mannheimia haemolytica<\/i>\n                    strain-level diversity in cattle populations"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Stephen C.","family":"Tamm","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/01f5ytq51","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"VERO Program, Texas A&M University","place":["Canyon, USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Enrique","family":"Doster","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/01f5ytq51","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"VERO Program, Texas A&M University","place":["Canyon, USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cory A.","family":"Wolfe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/01f5ytq51","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"VERO Program, Texas A&M University","place":["Canyon, USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lee J.","family":"Pinnell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/01f5ytq51","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"VERO Program, Texas A&M University","place":["Canyon, USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"William B.","family":"Crosby","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/0432jq872","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"College of Veterinary Medicine, Mississippi State University","place":["Starkville, USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Benjamin W.","family":"Newcomer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/01f5ytq51","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"VERO Program, Texas A&M University","place":["Canyon, USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jenna L.","family":"Funk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/01f5ytq51","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"VERO Program, Texas A&M University","place":["Canyon, USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John T.","family":"Richeson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/04gnp7x40","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Paul Engler College of Agriculture and Natural Sciences, West Texas A&M University","place":["Canyon, USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sheryl P.","family":"Gow","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/010x8gc63","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Public Health Agency of Canada, University of Saskatchewan","place":["Saskatoon, Canada"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0803-8874","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Robert","family":"Valeris-Chacin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/01f5ytq51","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"VERO Program, Texas A&M University","place":["Canyon, USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amelia R.","family":"Woolums","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/0432jq872","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"College of Veterinary Medicine, Mississippi State University","place":["Starkville, USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8138-2714","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Paul S.","family":"Morley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/01f5ytq51","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"VERO Program, Texas A&M University","place":["Canyon, USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"235","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_5_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cvfa.2010.04.004"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.21423\/aabppro20228589"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_4_2","unstructured":"USDA. 2011.
