Phages probably suffer from the same disease antibiotics do these days, "capitalism-unfriendliness":

    "It's quite simple - if they make something to treat high blood pressure or diabetes and it works, we will use it on our patients everyday. "Whereas antibiotics will only be used for a week or two when they're needed, and then they have a limited life span because of resistance developing anyway."
