Are there no phage treatments for MRSA yet?

  I could probably get decolonized by simultaneously hospitalizing myself, my family, and bleaching everything we own while we get pumped with heavy anti-biotic cocktails -- But that just isn't worth it to me.

    Phage treatments are nothing like that. They are viruses that target specific strains of bacteria. So if someone has produced a phage for your specific strain you would only need to take the phage with no nasty antibiotic side effects. Going to the hospital and taking a antibiotic cocktail seems like the perfect way to get more antibiotic resistant bacteria.
