Advances in single-cell flow cytometry have greatly improved the understanding of how genome size contributes to diverse biological processes including speciation, adaptation, pathogenesis, and tumorigenesis. For example, fungal pathogens can undergo whole genome duplications during infection of the human host and during acquisition of antifungal drug resistance. Quantification of ploidy is dramatically affected by the nucleic acid staining technique and the flow cytometry analysis of single cells. Ploidy in fungi is also impacted by samples that are heterogeneous for both ploidy and morphology, and control strains with known ploidy must be included in every flow cytometry experiment.

However, most work has been limited to transformed intestinal cell lines or murine models that often do not faithfully recapitulate key elements associated with human disease. The recent technological advances in organotypic tissue and cell culture are providing unparalleled access to systems with human physiology and complexity. Human intestinal enteroids (HIEs), derived from patient biopsy or surgical specimens of intestinal tissues, are organotypic cultures now being adapted to the study of enteric infections. HIEs are comprised of the dominant cell types of the human gastrointestinal epithelium, can be grown in two- or three-dimensional structures, form a crypt–villus axis with defined apical and basolateral compartments, and undergo physiologic responses to many different stimuli. Here, we describe a series of protocols that encompass the use of human enteroids for the measurement of the adherence, invasion, and translocation of <i>E. coli</i> to and through the intestinal epithelium.

This versatile method can be used to detect the extent of pathogenic DNA virus infection in different cell types over prolonged infection times.
