Secondary structures of csRNAs from S . agalactiae NEM316, S. dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilus GGS_124, S. equi subsp. equi 4047, and S. equi subsp. zooepidemicus MGCS10565, and S. gallolyticus UCN34. The csRNA gene predictions from Table 2 were folded using the Mfold program [54]. Sequences complementary to Shine-Dalgarno [16] sequences or translation initiation codons are underlined and shown in red. A conserved stretch of nucleotides found in virtually all csRNAs is underlined and shown in blue.
