Yawn...
Anyone alarmed by the failure of antibiotics simply isn’t educated on phages.

Phage therapy was, and still is a mostly Russian method of treatment.
The few times it has been tested in the US or Canada it has not been shown to be particularly useful.
That is not to say that it should be ignored as completely non-effective. My suggestion would be that some pharmaceutical company should pick up where the Russians and the French left off and test these thing either to success or destruction. Either big pharma or a small biotech industry stands to make a lot of money if phage therapy is successful. One thing we all need to remember is that there is a bacteria-phage for just about every known bacteria on earth.
