Taylor Morrisette

Taylor Morrisette is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Clinical Pharmacy and Outcomes Sciences at the College of Pharmacy, Medical University of South Carolina. Their research focuses on infectious diseases, antimicrobial pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics, and health outcomes, with an emphasis on optimizing antibiotic therapies for resistant pathogens and exploring bacteriophage-antibiotic combinations. Morrisette has contributed to studies evaluating novel antibiotics like eravacycline and omadacycline, as well as clinical guidelines for pediatric and multidrug-resistant infections.

Research interests include improving treatment strategies for biofilm-associated infections, antibiotic stewardship, and real-world outcomes of emerging therapies. Their work frequently addresses challenges in treating infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii, with a focus on pharmacokinetic optimization and combination therapies.

Recent publications highlight clinical trials and retrospective analyses of antibiotic efficacy, bacteriophage applications, and pharmacist-led interventions in medication adherence. Morrisette has collaborated on studies involving over 19 U.S. hospitals and contributed to multicenter evaluations of antibiotic safety and tolerability.
