Abstract
Pathogen infections including Shigella flexneri have posed a significant threat to human health for numerous years. Although culturing and qPCR were the gold standards for pathogen detection, time-consuming and instrument-dependent restrict their application in rapid diagnosis and economically less-developed regions. Thus, it is urgently needed to develop rapid, simple, sensitive, accurate, and low-cost detection methods for pathogen detection. In this study, an immunomagnetic beads-recombinase polymerase amplification-CRISPR/Cas12a (IMB-RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a) method was built based on a cascaded signal amplification strategy for ultra-specific, ultra-sensitive, and visual detection of S. flexneri in the laboratory. Firstly, S. flexneri was specifically captured and enriched by IMB (Shigella antibody-coated magnetic beads), and the genomic DNA was released and used as the template in the RPA reaction. Then, the RPA products were mixed with the pre-loaded CRISPR/Cas12a for fluorescence visualization. The results were observed by naked eyes under LED blue light, with a sensitivity of 5 CFU/mL in a time of 70 min. With no specialized equipment or complicated technical requirements, the IMB-RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a diagnostic method can be used for visual, rapid, and simple detection of S. flexneri and can be easily adapted to monitoring other pathogens.

Abstract
Bacterial enteritis has a substantial role in contributing to a large portion of the global disease burden and serves as a major cause of newborn mortality. Despite advancements gained from current animal and cell models in improving our understanding of pathogens, their widespread application is hindered by apparent drawbacks. Therefore, more precise models are imperatively required to develop more accurate studies on host-pathogen interactions and drug discovery. Since the emergence of intestinal organoids, massive studies utilizing organoids have been conducted to study the pathogenesis of bacterial enteritis, revealing new mechanisms and validating established ones. In this review, we focus on the advancements of several bacterial pathogenesis mechanisms observed in intestinal organoid/enteroid models, exploring the host response and bacterial effectors during the infection process. Finally, we address the features that warrant additional investigation or could be enhanced in existing organoid models in order to guide future research endeavors.

Abstract
The objective of the current study was to examine the antimicrobial, anti-adhesion, and anti-invasion properties of various concentrations of condition media obtained from adipose mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs CM) against Shigella flexneri (S. flexneri). AD-MSCs characterization and antimicrobial assay were performed using flow cytometry and microdilution by colony counting, respectively. For evaluating adhesion and invasion, Caco-2 cells were infected by S. flexneri at three different multiplicities of infection (MOIs of 1, 10, and 50) and then treated with DMEM medium and AD-MSCs CM. The inhibitory effect of AD-MSCs CM was assessed after 24 and 48 h of treatment by CFU (colony-forming unit) counting. A total of 84, 65, and 56% reduction in the adhesion rate of S. flexneri to Caco-2 cells treated with AD-MSCs CM were observed at MOIs of 1, 10, and 50, respectively. While S. flexneri at MOI:1 had no invasive effect on Caco-2 cells, convincing invasion was detected at MOIs of 10 and 50, showing a significant decrease following treatment with AD-MSCs CM. The current study results open new insights into AD-MSCs CM as a new non-antibiotic therapeutic candidate for S. flexneri infections.
