Fomite transmission is the transfer of infectious agents from an inanimate surface, such as a doorknob, to a human, animal, or another surface. Fomites are objects that can become contaminated with infectious agents, such as bacteria and viruses, and are responsible for the spread of many diseases. Fomite transmission is also known as indirect transmission or contact transmission. Fomite transmission occurs when a person touches an object that has been contaminated by another person who is infected with an infectious agent. For example, if a person with the flu touches a doorknob, any other person that touches that doorknob can become infected with the flu. Fomites can also become contaminated through contact with bodily fluids, such as saliva, mucus, and blood. The spread of infectious agents through fomite transmission can be prevented by following good hygiene practices, such as washing hands regularly and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces. Additionally, avoiding contact with objects that have been touched or handled by an infected person can help reduce the risk of fomite transmission.
