In this task, you are given a passage which has a question and the context. You have to generate an answer to the question based on the information present in the context.

[Q]: Context: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (MRCoNS) as important human pathogens are causes of nosocomial infections worldwide. Burn patients are at a higher risk of local and systemic infections with these microorganisms.', 'A screening method for MRSA by using a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) targeting the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA), mecA, and nuc genes was developed. The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential of this PCR assay for the detection of MRSA strains in samples from burn patients.', 'During an 11-month period, 230 isolates (53.11%) of Staphylococcus spp. were collected from burn patients. The isolates were identified as S. aureus by using standard culture and biochemical tests. DNA was extracted from bacterial colonies and multiplex PCR was used to detect MRSA and MRCoNS strains.', 'Of the staphylococci isolates, 149 (64.9%) were identified as S. aureus and 81 (35.21%) were described as CoNS. Among the latter, 51 (62.97%) were reported to be MRCoNS. From the total S. aureus isolates, 132 (88.6%) were detected as MRSA and 17 (11.4%) were methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA). The presence of the mecA gene in all isolates was confirmed by using multiplex PCR as a gold standard method.\Question: Do identification of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ( MRSA ) strains isolated from burn patients by multiplex PCR?
[A]: This study presented a high MRSA rate in the region under investigation. The 16S rRNA-mecA-nuc multiplex PCR is a good tool for the rapid characterization of MRSA strains. This paper emphasizes the need for preventive measures and choosing effective antimicrobials against MRSA and MRCoNS infections in the burn units.


[Q]: Context: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) endotoxemia and enteral arginine (ARG) supplementation on intestinal structural changes, enterocyte proliferation, and apoptosis in rat.', 'Male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 250-280 g, were divided into three experimental groups: control rats, LPS rats treated with lipopolysaccharide given ip at a dose of 10 mg/kg every 24 h (two injections), and LPS-ARG rats treated with enteral arginine given in drinking water (2%) 72 h before and following injection of LPS. Intestinal structural changes, enterocyte proliferation, and enterocyte apoptosis were determined on day 3 following the first LPS injection.', 'LPS rats demonstrated a significant decrease in bowel weight in duodenum, mucosal weight in duodenum, jejunum, and ileum, mucosal DNA and protein in jejunum and ileum, and villus height in jejunum and ileum compared to control animals. LPS rats also had a significantly lower cell proliferation index in jejunum and ileum and a higher apoptotic index in jejunum and ileum compared to control rats. LPS-ARG animals demonstrated greater duodenal bowel weight, duodenal and ileal mucosal weight, ileal mucosal DNA and protein, ileal villus height, and jejunal and ileal cell proliferation index compared to LPS animals.\Question: Does oral arginine reduce gut mucosal injury caused by lipopolysaccharide endotoxemia in rat?
[A]: LPS endotoxemia impairs the integrity of the gastrointestinal mucosa in rat. Decreased cell proliferation and increased apoptosis may be considered the main mechanisms responsible for the decreased cell mass. Enteral arginine administration decreases the mucosal injury caused by lipopolysaccharide.


[Q]: Context: The contribution of neutrophils to myocardial injury during stunning remains controversial because of conflicting results in neutropenic animals. The goal of this study was to compare the recovery of function in stunned myocardium using two distinct methods for inducing neutropenia in pigs.', 'Three groups of pigs were studied: control (n = 6), and made neutropenic by either Leukopak blood filters (n = 7), or cyclophosphamide (n = 7, 50 mg.kg-1 intravenously 4 d prior to study). In anaesthetised open chest pigs, with the heart paced at 110 beats.min-1, the left anterior descending coronary artery was perfused with an extracorporeal circuit at controlled coronary pressure (CP) and the regional coronary blood flow was measured. Systolic wall thickening was determined by sonomicrometry in the left anterior descending and circumflex coronary artery regions. The protocol consisted of 15 min of low flow ischaemia (CP = 40 mm Hg), followed by a staged reperfusion over 10 min back to baseline (CP = 90 mm Hg), and continued for 2 h. Blood filtration was initiated prior to ischaemia and stopped after 90 min reperfusion.', 'In both treated groups during ischaemia and the initial 60 min of reperfusion the neutrophil count was severely depleted to < 5% compared to the control group. Aortic pressure, coronary blood flow during ischaemia, area at risk, and systolic wall thickening in the circumflex region were similar between groups. Recovery of systolic wall thickening in the left anterior descending region after reperfusion was equivalent in all three groups. In the filter group, arrhythmias during ischaemia and reperfusion were significantly less.\Question: Does severe neutrophil depletion by leucocyte filters or cytotoxic drug improve recovery of contractile function in stunned porcine myocardium?
[A]:
As assessed in the pig model of myocardial stunning and using two different methods, severe neutropenia does not reduce the depression of contractile function.
