[edit] Phage therapy pushing

This is not accepted by conventional medicine and even more importantly is not generally available. Hence it would seem to be a non-notable therapy and as such not appropriate to include in an encyclopaedia.

Even if it were proven to be effective and accepted as such, the fact that it is not currently generally available means that "Phage therapy can be effective in situations where antibiotics fail" is wrong - "would be effective if become available" would be correct.

Phage therapy is an interesting concept and an article on it exists and appropriately so. Whether it might help if generally available and developed further is open to research, a point for perhaps a general article such as bacteria, but not individual articles where stating "Phage therapy can be effective in situations where antibiotics fail." would seem to be a personal opionion (see WP:NOR). Claims need to WP:Cite from WP:Reliable sources to WP:Verify.
