腸球菌屬(學名:Enterococcus),革蘭氏陽性球菌。經常以成對(雙球菌)或短鏈方式存在,故從形態上與鏈球菌屬很難區分[1]。在人類腸道裡有兩種常見的偏利共生腸球菌:糞腸球菌(Enterococcus faecalis)約佔90-95%和屎腸球菌(Enterococcus faecium)約佔5-10%。其他人體中較少見的菌群還有E. casseliflavusE. gallinarumE. raffinosus[1]腸球菌因為能生成抵抗藥物的物質,使它們不容易被抗生素殺死,且容易散播抗藥性並可在惡劣環境中生存,故近年來已成為臨床感染的重要致病菌之一[2][3][4][5][6][7]

生理學

腸球菌是兼性厭氧菌,即它們能在有氧和無氧的環境中生長[8]。 雖然腸球菌不能形成孢子,但他們對於生長環境卻有很高的耐受性,例如可在下列環境中生存:溫度10-45℃、酸鹼度4.5-10.0和高鹽濃度[9]

腸球菌通常會在羊血瓊脂(sheep's blood agar)上呈現γ-溶血反應[10]

分類

腸球菌早期被分類為D群鏈球菌(Group D Streptococcus),一直到1984年,基因體DNA分析指出腸球菌應為另一獨立的菌屬[11]

病理學

腸球菌在臨床上引起的重要感染包括尿道感染、菌血症、細菌性心內膜炎、憩室炎和腦膜炎等[9][10] 。敏感性菌株的感染可用ampicillin、penicillin和vancomycin治療[12]。 泌尿道感染則可用nitrofurantoin進行特異性治療,即使在vancomycin抗藥性的情況下[13]

從醫學觀點來看,腸球菌的一個重要特性是先天具有高度的內在抗藥性。一些腸球菌對β-內酰胺類抗生素(如penicillins、cephalosporins、carbapenems)及許多氨基糖苷類抗生素具有抗藥性[10]。 在過去二十年中,vancomycin抗藥性的致病腸球菌(Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus; VRE)越來越常在院內感染中被檢出,尤其是在美國[9]。 VRE可用抗生素quinupristin/dalfopristin來治療,約有70%的人會有效果[14]。 Tigecycline類抗生素也已證明能用來治療腸球菌感染,如rifampicin。

除了抗藥性,腸球菌也有很多毒性因子,毒性因子是作用於人體且會引發許多病灶,甚至造成嚴重疾病的物質;這些因子皆增加了腸球菌對人體的致病力[15][16][17]

腸球菌性腦膜炎是神經外科上罕見的併發症。它一般需要透過靜脈或鞘內vancomycin來進行治療,但是治療效果仍有爭議[18]。 新的流行病學證據顯示,腸球菌亦是慢性細菌性前列腺炎的主要感染因子,腸球菌會在前列腺中形成生物膜,使其難以治療。

食品應用

做為益生菌食用

腸球菌是人類和許多動物的一種腸道共生菌,糞腸球菌和屎腸球菌是最常見的菌種,這兩種腸球菌已有許多研究證明其促進人體和動物(豬、家禽等)健康的功效,因此在保健食品的應用上普遍被作為益生菌使用[19][20][21][22][23][24]。在腸道中,腸球菌會搶奪病原菌的生存空間,所以當我們不小心吃入了病原菌,這些病原菌也沒有辦法留在腸道中,大幅減低了它們的致病力。此外,腸球菌具有抵抗消化液的能力,作為益生菌食用時,因不容易被消化液分解,所以能有更多的菌量到達腸道,使其更容易發揮改善腸道健康的作用;因為這些特性,所以腸球菌是常見的益生菌選擇之一[25]

早在80年代,腸球菌就被使用來治療細菌性的腹瀉[26][27][28],當時被認為是藥物治療以外的另一種選擇,主要因為腸球菌在腸道內生長快速,並可抑制其它致病菌,例如大腸桿菌的生長,因此能減緩腹瀉的症狀。除了細菌性腹瀉,腸球菌也被證實能用來預防藥物型腹瀉[29][30];當服用抗生素時,腸道的菌群會因此失衡,一些致病菌就會趁機繁殖,進而造成腹瀉等症狀,腸球菌可避免服用抗生素時的不良反應發生。所以將具有抗藥性的腸球菌作為藥品,連同抗生素一同使用,達到治療效果的同時,也可以避免副作用的發生[31]

食用的健康風險

腸球菌具有很強的抗藥性散播能力[32][33][34],造成原本可以被殺死的細菌變成殺不死,因此不認為是GRAS(一般公認安全)的菌種[35][36],作為益生菌使用仍有安全上的問題,特別是在細菌感染、免疫低下的患者和老年人身上[35][37][38]。除了抗藥性的散播能力,腸球菌也會散播毒性因子,造成毒性因子的擴散[37][38][39][40][41],增加了腸球菌在食品應用上的疑慮,故腸球菌作為益生菌原料的安全性必須審慎評估。

腸球菌專家、美國哈佛大學醫學院的Michael S. Gilmore博士團隊在其所撰寫的《Enterococci》書中,除了提及美國FDA與歐盟不建議使用腸球菌作為益生菌給人類食用之外,更寫到益生菌的菌株不該具有基因轉移的能力(會導致抗藥性的散播),到2014年為止,科學界並沒有找到不具基因轉移能力的腸球菌菌株,因此腸球菌作為益生菌使用仍有相當大的爭議。[42]

腸球菌因抗藥因子和毒性因子的高度散播能力,使腸球菌容易獲得或傳遞這些對健康有風險的因子,最後衍生出藥物殺不死的病菌,造成了治療上的困難,顯示腸球菌對人體健康的潛在危害[32][33][36][39][40][41]。因此,考慮到腸球菌感染在人類流行病學上的進展,以及腸球菌對人體健康可能具有的風險,WHO[43]和美國FDA[44]皆不建議使用腸球菌作為益生菌使用,歐盟[45]、中國[46] 、加拿大[47]等國也禁止或不建議腸球菌作為益生菌成分。根據許多研究結果及主要國家的安全評估,腸球菌作為益生菌對人體健康的不良影響實無法完全排除,因此禁止或有條件的使用是有其必要性的。

水質要求

水質中的腸球菌標準非常嚴格,例如在夏威夷州和美國的大部分地區,其海灘周圍的水域是每100毫升水中,五個星期的平均值不得超過35單位 (CFU) 的腸球菌,否則該地區可能會發布警告,要求遠離海洋。[48] 2004年,腸球菌更取代了糞大腸菌群和大腸桿菌作為新的美國聯邦公共鹽水和淡水海域水質標準。[49]
