Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Alma Kairzhanova"
- Alma Kairzhanova's research primarily focuses on the genetic diversity and homogeneity of pathogenic bacteria, particularly Francisella tularensis and Brucella species, in Kazakhstan to better understand zoonotic diseases like tularemia and brucellosis.
- Her studies have found low genetic diversity in Francisella tularensis subsp. holarctica, advocating for the use of polymorphic tandem repeats and whole genome sequencing as effective means for genetic characterization of this bacterium.
- Kairzhanova's work highlights an increasing need for genomic research to address public health concerns related to endemic diseases in Central Asia, underscoring the importance of holistic approaches to monitoring and controlling infectious diseases.
