Oliverpabstia intestinalis is a species of Gram-positive, strictly anaerobic bacteria within the family Lachnospiraceae. It is the type species of the genus Oliverpabstia , first described in 2020 following its isolation from the gastrointestinal tract of pigs in Germany. The species name "intestinalis" reflects its origin from the intestinal environment.
Oliverpabstia intestinalis was first described by Wylensek et al. in 2020, based on isolates obtained from the pig gastrointestinal tract. Phylogenetic analyses, including 16S rRNA gene sequencing and whole-genome comparisons, demonstrated that these isolates formed a distinct lineage within the Lachnospiraceae family, warranting the establishment of a new genus and species.

Members of the species O. intestinalis are characterized by the following features:
The type strain, BSM-380-WT-5A, was isolated from the feces of a 5-month-old pig in Germany. [2]
Oliverpabstia intestinalis has been isolated from the gastrointestinal tracts of pigs and humans, suggesting a role in the gut microbiota of mammals. Specifically, strain DSM 113008 (JCM 35882) was isolated from the feces of a healthy adult male in Aachen, Germany, in 2020. [3]
