Inflexível (na luta contra infecções há 20 anos)


Explanation:
Veja o significado que dá o Webster's:

hang tough
[Colloq.] to take a firm or defiant stand; be inflexible

Uma alternativa seria manter unida a expressão "tough-fighting", ou seja, "duras de combater", e traduzir "hanging" por "a enforcar", e a tradução também poderia ser:
"Há 20 anos a enforcar infecções duras de combater".
