The article states that the "six most dangerous antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens" are known as "ESKAPE."
The viral phages used to target this group are used in tandem with appropriate antibiotics, and the phages are "trained" in several rounds to optimize effectiveness prior to application.
It would seem reasonable to begin general distribution of this treatment for ESKAPE, and begin preparing similar treatments for what we might guess are the next few dozen that will join this group.
