Johnny Zakhour is an Internal Medicine Resident at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan. His research in infectious diseases focuses on antimicrobial and diagnostic stewardship. His research spans a wide range of topics, including nontuberculous mycobacteria—particularly Mycobacterium simiae, antimicrobial resistance, stewardship and infection control, and immunocompromised hosts.
He has presented at international conferences such as ECCMID and IDWeek, and his publications have garnered over 350 citations. His philosophy of “less is more,” rooted in his background from a low- to middle-income country, drives his interest in judicious diagnostics and treatment. Looking ahead, Dr. Zakhour aims to build a career as an infectious diseases physician-scientist, advancing stewardship in immunocompromised hosts and addressing disparities in underserved communities.
