Since 2010, outbreaks of haemorrhagic septicaemia (HS) caused by <i>Pasteurella</i> (<i>P</i>.) <i>multocida</i> capsular type B (<i>Pm</i>B) emerged in Germany. In 2017, we noticed a close spatiotemporal relationship between HS outbreak sites and wolf (<i>Canis lupus</i>) territories. Thus, the main objectives of our study were to investigate the molecular epidemiology of German <i>Pm</i>B-HS-isolates and to assess the role of wolves as putative vectors of this pathogen. We collected 83 <i>Pm</i>B isolates from HS outbreaks that occurred between 2010 and 2019 and sampled 150 wolves, which were found dead in the years 2017 to 2019, revealing another three <i>Pm</i>B isolates. A maximum-likelihood-based phylogeny of the core genomes of 65 <i>Pm</i>B-HS-isolates and the three <i>Pm</i>B-wolf-isolates showed high relatedness. Furthermore, all belonged to capsular:LPS:MLST genotype B:L2:ST122^RIRDC and showed highly similar virulence gene profiles, but clustered separately from 35 global ST122^RIRDC strains. Our data revealed that German HS outbreaks were caused by a distinct genomic lineage of <i>Pm</i>B-ST122 strains, hinting towards an independent, ongoing epidemiologic event. We demonstrated for the first time, that carnivores, i.e., wolves, might harbour <i>Pm</i>B as a part of their oropharyngeal microbiota. Furthermore, the results of our study imply that wolves can carry the pathogen over long distances, indicating a major role of that animal species in the ongoing epidemiological event of HS in Germany.
