Abstract: Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) had a multifactorial etiology and developed as a result of complex interactions between environmental factors, host factors and pathogens, which was of major economic importance to the north America and the global cattle industries,the main bacterial pathogens associated with BRD, including Mannheimia haemolytica, Pasteurella multocida, Histophilus somni and Mycoplasma bovis and other bacterial pathogens were reviewed, and clinical observations, pathology, management and therapy, antibiotic resistance were described so as to provide references for the development and research of drugs for prevention and therapy of bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC).

Key words: bacteria; pathogens; bovine respiratory disease complex
