Build a cocktail. Beat resistance.
Why a cocktail and not a single phage? Assemble one below. Each phage binds a different bacterial surface receptor — and the more independent receptors you cover, the harder it becomes for bacteria to escape by mutating their way out. See the principle for yourself.
Target:
1 · Pick your phages
Each binds a different surface receptor. Cover more receptors → harder to resist.
2 · Your cocktail vs the strains

A simplified model for intuition — real cocktail design also weighs phage–antibiotic synergy, manufacturing, and immune clearance. This is education, not a clinical tool.
Scientific & educational content. As of 2026 no bacteriophage therapeutic is approved as a marketed drug in the United States or European Union. Phage therapy is available only through clinical trials, compassionate-use / expanded-access pathways, and national magistral frameworks. Nothing here is medical advice or an offer to sell a therapeutic.
