Phage therapy is influenced by:

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.
Chronolability
Mutation rate
Phenotypical delay
Phage cocktail
My point of view

From Wikipedia


If the target host* of a phage therapy treatment is not
an animal the term "
biocontrol" (as in phage-mediated biocontrol of bacteria) is usually employed, rather than "phage therapy".

"In silico"

From:"Genomics,Proteomics and Clinical Bacteriology", N.Woodford and Alan P.Johnson

Phrase that emphasizes the fact that many molecular biologists spend increasing amounts of their time in front of a computer screen, generating hypotheses that can subsequently be tested and (hopefully) confirmed in the laboratory.

Diriphagen


"We used the preparation (Diriphagen : Dr.Heinz Haury Chemical Plant, Munich) because we believed that this preparation met the requirements we just set up. According to Information received, this preparation contains 180-200 different phage strains and thus has a broad spectrum of effectiveness"

From:

Toward Modern Inhalational Bacteriophage Therapy:Nebulization of Bacteriophages of Burkholderia cepacia Complex
"The results suggest that BCC bacteriophages can be nebulized successfully within a reasonable delivery time and predicted titers in the lung indicate that this method may hold potential for treatment of bacterial lung infections common among cystic fibrosis patients"
