Natural Selection is the just about the most powerful force in the
world. Phages and bacteria are constantly testing each each other and
the fittest live. The phage you propose to be able to buy would work
initially, but eventually wouldn't and you'd need another specific
phage. Plus, there are an almost infinite number of bacterial species
and phages are pretty species specific.
