The problem of antibacterial resistance to frequently used antibiotics has led to a search for newer and alternative compounds for the treatment of drugresistant infections [1]. Although pharmaceutical companies have designed a number of new antibiotics in the last three decades, resistance against these drugs by microorganisms has also been observed. Drug resistant bacterial infections are causing immense mortality and morbidity worldwide. For example, in 2005, in the United States, 19 000 out of 95 000 patients affected from methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have died. Number of death was higher than number of deaths combined from HIV/ AIDS, Parkinson's disease, emphysema, and homicides combined [2]. As many branches of treatments like postsurgical care, neonatal care, transplantation medicine, cancer chemotherapy, and care of the critically ill patients need effective antibiotic treatment, failure of conventional antibiotic treatment to combat multidrug resistant (MDR) pathogens, caused high rate of mortality. With this background, World Health Organization (WHO) identified MDR bacteria as one of the top three high priority threats to human health. Infectious Disease Society of America has addressed the biomedical community to declare a war against the MDR bacterial threat. Along with intensifying research on understanding the resistance pattern of MDR infection, they have stressed that the ultimate goal of scientist would be to identify appropriate and efficient antimicrobial drugs to the patients.

“…The mass loss pattern and rate of decomposition showed significant ( < 0.05) differences among the studied tree species (Figures 1 and 2) which may be due to the litter quality, the presence of varying amounts of water soluble phenolic compounds, flavonoids, tannin, physical and chemical properties of leaf litter, and the presence of thick waxy cuticle [18,33,34]. Mass of leaf litter decreased gradually during the experiment in dry and wet season due to decomposition [6,20].…”

Mangifera indica, Zizyphus jujuba, Litchi chinensis, andArtocarpus heterophyllus are the most common cropland agroforest horticultural tree species of Bangladesh. This study focused on leaf litter decomposition and nutrient (N, P, and K) dynamics during the decomposition process. This experiment was conducted for 180 days by using litter bag technique during dry and wet seasons. Mass loss was the highest (49% and 57%) for A. heterophyllus and the lowest (25%) was found for L. chinensis. The highest initial rates (0.75% and 2.35%/day) of decomposition were observed for Z. jujuba and the lowest (0.50% and 0.79%/day) for L. chinensis. The highest decay constant was observed for A. heterophyllus (2.14 and 2.34) and the lowest (0.88 and 0.94) for L. chinensis. Leaf litter of all the studied species showed a similar pattern (K > N > P) of nutrient release during the decomposition process. Zizyphus jujuba showed comparatively higher return of N, P, and K than others. However, a significant (P < 0.05) higher amount of mass loss, rate of decomposition, decay constant, and amount of nutrient return from leaf litter were observed during the wet season.

Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal commonly known as 'Ashwagandha' is a widely used herb in Ayurvedic medicine.In the present study, root extracts of Withania somnifera were analysed for phytochemical constituents, and antimicrobial property. Antibacterial activity of root extract was tested by agar-well diffusion method against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Salmonella paratyphi B. The study also investigated the effect of temperature on its antibacterial activity. Qualitative phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of carbohydrates, reducing sugars, alkaloids, phytosterol, fixed oils, proteins, phenolic compounds and flavonoids. All the bacterial strains were found to be sensitive to acetone, ethyl acetate and ethanol extracts. Acetone and ethanol extracts were more effective against Klebsiella pneumoniae, whereas ethyl acetate extract was more effective against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Salmonella paratyphi B. The effect of temperature on the antimicrobial potential of the root extracts of the plant remained reasonably unaffected. The present screening demonstrated that Withania somnifera root extract has potent antibacterial activity and a potential source of new class of antimicrobial compounds that could be useful for infectious disease chemotherapy and control.
