The increasing trend in antimicrobial resistance of pathogenic bacteria dictates the need for alternative solutions. Bacteriophages are bacterial viruses that kill their hosts during the lifecycle. The high specificity of phages makes the production of personalized cocktails the best option. Registration of drugs with variable composition lies beyond the current legal policies. In the present review, we studied the regulatory framework of the top 10 world economies from the point of personalized bacteriophages registration. We underlined procedures that countries can learn from each other.
