A fomite is an inanimate object that can become contaminated with infectious agents, such as bacteria or viruses, and act as a vehicle for transmission of the infection to a person. Common examples of fomites include doorknobs, elevator buttons, smartphones, and kitchen utensils. Regular cleaning and disinfection of fomites is important to prevent the spread of infections.
