Community-based pathogens that can survive on common touch surfaces include those that can cause gastrointestinal, respiratory, and skin infections. Our hands play an obvious role in the transmission of many of these pathogens, but common touch surfaces are also part of the transmission equation. Traditionally, common touch surfaces have not been the main focus of cleaning and sanitation in household and community settings. Infectious disease continues to be of concern globally due in part to emergence of new pathogens, antibiotic-resistant organisms, and a growing immunocompromised community. As a result, it is important to prevent and minimize the infection risk in homes and in the community. Understanding the role of common touch surfaces should inform surface hygiene practices and these surfaces should be the subject of future intervention studies.
