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.

[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 has been recently transferred into the genus Heyndrickxia.

[3] The correct nomenclature is Heyndrickxia oleronia.
