Oxford animal-only antibiotic lab could prop up intensive farming, critics say

Last modified on Wed 20 Jan 2021 23.34 EST
An initiative to develop bespoke antibiotics for livestock has raised fears that it could be a “techno-fix” for more intensive farming.
Mixed reactions have followed news that Ineos, a global petrochemical manufacturer, has donated £100m to establish the Ineos Oxford University Institute (IOI) for antimicrobial research.
The institute said it would focus on designing novel antimicrobials solely for animals because the majority of global antibiotic consumption by volume was in agriculture, and antibiotic use in animals was contributing significantly to their lessening effectiveness in humans.
“[There is] a shocking overlap between some classes of antibiotics used in animals and in humans, so we need to separate the two. Examples include penicillin and the tetracycline-type antibiotics,” Christopher Schofield, IOI project lead and head of organic chemistry at the University of Oxford, said. ....

Oman research project hopes to produce COVID-19 medicine from frankincense

MUSCAT, OMAN: Research studies to produce medicines capable of fighting COVID-19 from frankincense trees in Oman, on the southeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula in Western Asia, are being undertaken jointly by the University of Nizwa and the University of Oxford.
The Frankincense (boswellia saca) trees are most famed for their resin, a milky-white substance extracted by harvesters as they tap into the side of the tree by making small cuts into the bark. The substance , when hardened, crystallizes into the frankincense that is still sold all over the world.
The project is looking to isolate certain key compounds from frankincense known for its healing properties and to use them to make antibiotics. ....

Muscat: Research to make medicines capable of fighting COVID-19, from frankincense trees in Oman, is being jointly undertaken by the University of Nizwa and the University of Oxford.
The project is looking to isolate certain key compounds from frankincense – known for its healing properties – and to use them to make antibiotics.
The resin contains large numbers of naturally-occurring chemicals that could be used to inhibit the ability of the COVID-19 virus to infect people. ....
