Rodentibacter is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria in the family Pasteurellaceae. Members of this genus are facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacteria primarily associated with rodents, including laboratory mice and rats. The genus was first proposed in 2017 after phylogenetic studies showed that several former Pasteurella species and novel isolates formed a distinct clade.
