Biography:
Yehonatan Sharaby is an environmental microbiologist at the University of Haifa, focusing on Legionella pneumophila ecology, antimicrobial resistance, and microbial adaptation in engineered water systems. His research integrates molecular typing, MALDI-TOF MS, growth assays, and transcriptomics to understand how water-system conditions shape bacterial physiology. By linking environmental stressors to resistance evolution, his work provides mechanistic insights relevant to chemical engineering, water treatment design, and process optimization in distribution systems. He also teaches microbiology and supervises graduate students working on environmental AMR and waterborne pathogens.
Title : Antibiotic resistance and transcriptomic profiling of legionella pneumophila in drinking water
