Country :
the epidemiological situation is different from country to country in terms of circulating bacteria and bacteriophages. Example: a lytic phages from Italy may be no active on the same bacteria (genus and species) isolated from another country and vice versa.

From Wikipedia


If the target host* of a phage therapy treatment is not
an animal the term "
