Countries like Canada and the United States were against protectionist and isolationist policies in the 1930s. 

A rapid growing (2-5 days) culture of fluffy blue-green colonies from a respiratory specimen obtained from an immunocompromised ICU patient showed septate hyaline hyphae with many conidiophores. The tips of the conidiophores expand into large dome-shaped vesicles with bottle-shaped phialides covering the upper half or two-thirds of its surface. Long chains of conidia are present at the ends of the phialides. At the base of the conidiophore, a “foot cell” is seen attaching the conidiophore to the septate hyphae. The most likely organism is:

Several children at a summer camp have lesions on their feet along with infected toenails.  The organism has an olive/brown surface with a yellow periphery and a pale yellow reverse. Microscopically, smooth walled 2-4 celled club-shaped macroconidia and no microconidia are observed. This organism is most likely:

Pus from a draining fistula on a foot was submitted for culture.  The pus contained small, yellowish, oval granules.  The culture grew a cottony, white mold that turned gray with a black reverse.   Microscopically, the organism demonstrated hyaline septate hyphae with long and short conidiophores with single pear-shaped conidia.  The most likely identification is:

A gardener develops a brown patch of skin in the center of the palms of his hands. He has treated them with a variety of over-the-counter medicines but it does not go away. When the itching becomes worse, he seeks medical advice. He is diagnosed with tinea nigra. What is the causative agent of this infection?
