Bacillus oleronius is a Gram-negative bacterium belonging to the genus Bacillus. However, Bacillus oleronius has Gram-positive cell wall components shared among all bacillus species (Lacey N, 2007). It was first described in 1995 and was found in the hindgut of the termite Reticulitermes flavipes.{{cite journal|last=Kuhnigk |first=Thomas |author2=Borst, Eva-Maria |author3=Breunig, Alfred |author4=Konig, Helmut |author5=Collins, Matthew D |author6=Hutson, Roger A |author7=Kampfer, Peter |date=August 1995 |title=Bacillus oleronius sp.nov., a member of the hindgut flora of the termite Reticulitermes santonensis (Feytaud) |journal=Canadian Journal of Microbiology |volume=41 |issue=8 |pages=699–706 |pmid=7553453 |oclc=90251878 |doi=10.1139/m95-096}} It is also found in the human skin parasitic mite Demodex folliculorum, and may be related to the development of a type of rosacea.{{cite press release |title= New Study Shows Role for Bacteria in Development of Rosacea Symptoms|url= http://www.rosacea.org/press/archive/20040503.php|publisher= National Rosacea Society|date= 2004-05-03|accessdate=2008-09-27}}

This species has been recently transferred into the genus Heyndrickxia.{{Cite journal|last1=Gupta|first1=Radhey S.|last2=Patel|first2=Sudip|last3=Saini|first3=Navneet|last4=Chen|first4=Shu|date=2020-11-01|title=Robust demarcation of 17 distinct Bacillus species clades, proposed as novel Bacillaceae genera, by phylogenomics and comparative genomic analyses: description of Robertmurraya kyonggiensis sp. nov. and proposal for an emended genus Bacillus limiting it only to the members of the Subtilis and Cereus clades of species|url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.0.004475|journal=International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology|volume=70|issue=11|pages=5753–5798|doi=10.1099/ijsem.0.004475|pmid=33112222|issn=1466-5026|doi-access=free}} The correct nomenclature is Heyndrickxia oleronia.
