Heyndrickxia oleronius is a Gram-negative bacterium belonging to the genus Heyndrickxia. However, H. oleronius has Gram-positive cell wall components (Lacey N, 2007). It was first described in 1995 and was found in the hindgut of the termite Reticulitermes flavipes.^[1] It is also found in the human skin parasitic mite Demodex folliculorum, and may be related to the development of a type of rosacea.^[2]

This species was formerly classified in the genus Bacillus.^[3]
