The T44 RNA family consists of a number of bacterial RNA genes of between 135 and 170 bases in length.
The t44 gene has been identified in several species of
enteric bacteria but homologs have also been identified in ''
Pseudomonas'' and ''
Coxiella'' species. The t44 gene is found between the ''map'' and ''rpsB'' genes in all species in the full alignment apart from ''
Shigella flexneri
''Shigella flexneri'' is a species of Gram-negative bacteria in the genus ''Shigella'' that can cause diarrhea in humans. Several different serogroups of ''Shigella'' are described; ''S. flexneri'' belongs to group ''B''. ''S. flexneri'' infecti ...
