Distribution of patent families and scientific publications classified according to the bacterial genera that is tackled by the phage product. On the basis of Mansfield et al., 2012, seven categories (Agrobacterium, Dickeya/Pectobacterium, Erwinia, Pseudomonas, Ralstonia, Xanthomonas/Xylella, and Other) were made to classify patent families and publications. Groupings of bacterial genera (Dickeya/Pectobacterium and Xanthomonas/Xylella) were created as phage cocktails were created to tackle both bacterial genera. The last category “Other” consists of patent families and publications that do not specify the bacterial pathogen that is being targeted or that tackle an alternative bacterial genera.
