5 Bacteriophage Lookup

Bacteriophage product selector


Clicking on any product link symbol in the bacteriophage "Pathogen vs Product" table below will take you directly to a vendor's webpage in Belarus called Cosmoll.org. (In the event their website is unavailable, they're also contactable via WhatsApp messaging, during their business hours on +7 904 751-48-55). They have been friendly and reliable to deal with. Shipping to eg. Australia may take 2-3 weeks.

NB. Due to difficulties with cross-border payments to this region, Cosmoll uses payment processors such as Wise.com and Paysend.com to facilitate orders. The overall process is a little clunky, but much smoother if you set up a Wise or Paysend account and mobile app before placing your order. The company will try to contact you on WhatsApp or email and manually send a payment request, once the order is received and ready to be processed.

If you run into show-stopping difficulties with the order process, some of the bacteriophage products, eg. Intestifag, Sextaphag and the other bacteriophage products that come in sterile vials are also available at RU-Pills, however they use a Bitcoin intermediary for payments. Overall, access to these products needs to get simpler.

If you have a suitable budget, you can also contact the Phage Therapy Center in Georgia, who have thousands of phages in their biobank and make custom phage cocktails, based on your sample specimens.

The bacteriophage "Pathogen vs Product" table below can help you choose the correct products for your application. For online users, you can also type in (part of) the species or genus name into the search field and the table contents will shrink to just those records, eg. typing "kleb" will return all products targeting Klebsiella species.

Product notes:

1. Whilst the Viera products have very broad coverage for pathogenic species eg. combining "Spray for women" and "Hand spray", these products are sold as 'prophylactic' doses - you may need to use more of the product to achieve the same results. They also contain PEG, for anyone with sensitivity. Interestingly enough, although these are marketed as external use products, a number of the Viera sprays broadly target the Bacteroides genus. This has implications for selectively correcting elevated Bacteroides : Firmicute ratios and may be (potently) helpful at eg. 8-10 sprays per day, orally for 1-2 weeks. Anecdotal reports are favourable, accompanied by initial die-off symptoms.
2. The Micormir gel bacteriophage products, eg. Phagodent, Fagogin, Phagoderm, Otofag are 'therapeutic doses' and potent.
3. All of the bacteriophage products which come in sterile vials are extremely potent. These will require eg. 20-30ml syringes and detachable eg. 23-27G 1/2 -1" needles to draw up liquid from the vials, before removing the needle to administer them to various mucosal tissues.
4. Nebuliser usage - the Micromir Gel products contain a carbomer base which readily dissolves in water, meaning it is able to be used in a nebuliser at roughly 1mL of gel to 3mL of water. Target dose is typically 1-2mL per session. The sterile vials can be used without dilution in a nebuliser. Nebulising phages has been used in at least one study to achieve systemic distribution, also noting that circulating bacteriophages via this route would normally trigger a systemic immune response, just like IV phage administration.
