which is an example of indirect contact transmission of microorganisms?
What is contact transmission? Contact transmission requires some form of touch to spread an infection. Direct contact transmission involves immediate contact between two people (or with an animal). Indirect contact transmission involves fomites; an object that becomes contaminated by touch (the fomite) then spreads the infection by touch. Conjunctivitis, or âpink eye,â is commonly spread by touch. Other examples include Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), shingles, and Ebola.
