Link: The Epoch Times.

At present, in addition to established organizations in Georgia, Russia and Poland that are reportedly marketing therapeutic and prophylactic phage products against bacteria including Staphylococci, Streptococci, E. coli, Pseudomonas, Proteus, Salmonella, Shigella, Serratia, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Campylobacter, Yersinia and Brucella, there are an estimated 10 companies located in the United States (Intralytix Inc: www.intralytix.com), Canada, India (GangaGen: www.gangagen.com) and Israel (Phage Biotech Ltd: www.phage-biotech.com) racing to provide a number of phage therapy products for a range of medical, animal husbandry, food processing and environmental applications. It is anticipated that the first phage-based products for treatment of meat and poultry will receive FDA approval soon; an “experimental use permit” from EPA has been granted for use of phages in the environment on non-food contact surfaces.
