A member asked:
What type of yeast infections are resistant to difulcan?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Any type could be: Whether a yeast infection is resistant to Diflucan (fluconazole) depends on the specific strain- some colonies develop resistance. Resistant strains can cause any type of yeast infection. Thus, any type of yeast infection might be resistant to Diflucan (fluconazole) but most yeast infections are still sensitive to it. However, the frequency of difucan-resistant strains is growing. Only a culture & sensitivity tells for sure!

About 10-15%: Infrequently certain candida yeast species or other fungi that can cause similar symptoms such as microsporum can be resistant to the mechanisms by which Fluconazole (diflucan) prevents fungal reproduction.
