Fomites are non-living things that even being non-living can carry infectious viruses or bacteria.

Many fomites include things we touch a lot, or things that are in constant contact with a contamined source such as public toilet door knob or a barber's razor wich may contain infected blood of a costumer.

Fomites are inanimate objects that can become contaminated with infectious agents and serve as a mechanism for transfer between hosts. The classic example of a fomite is a park water fountain from which many people drink. Infectious agents deposited by one person can potentially be transmitted to a subsequent drinker.
