Nail fungus is already notorious for being stubborn and slow to clear, even with the best prescription treatments.
But a new study in Future Microbiology reveals a far bigger problem: nail fungus is becoming resistant to most antifungal drugs.
This resistance doesn’t just make treatment frustrating — it could make nail fungus nearly impossible to cure if we don’t act soon.
Fortunately, there’s a solution.
Researchers analyzed nail samples from patients with fungal infections, focusing on outpatients who worked in offices and shops — places where fungal exposure is higher.
Using advanced lab techniques, they identified the fungi causing infections and tested their resistance to common antifungal medications.
Some general findings:
-
• 53% of infections occurred in males.
• 57% of infections affected toenails rather than fingernails.
• 40% of infections were found in retail and commercial employees.
• Common Fungi Involved:-
◦ Dermatophytes caused 46% of infections.
◦ Non-dermatophyte molds accounted for 35%.
◦ Yeasts made up the remaining 19%.
-
◦ Dermatophytes caused 46% of infections.
-
◦ Griseofulvin & Fluconazole: 100% of fungal strains were resistant to these drugs.
◦ Terbinafine Hydrochloride: Only 71% of cases responded.
◦ Nystatin: Effective in just 64% of cases.
◦ Ketoconazole: A dismal 36% sensitivity rate.
◦ Multi-Drug Resistance: 84% of dermatophytes and 46% of molds were resistant to multiple drugs.
Alarming findings – resistance is rampant:
These findings prove what many have suspected: current antifungal medications are failing us. Not only are they less effective, but their side effects (like abdominal pain and diarrhea) make them a poor long-term solution.
This shows how important it is to use all-natural solutions to eliminate nail fungus. You absolutely must do it from both the inside out and the outside in.
