Upper Respiratory Infectious Agents are Commonly Transmitted from Person to Person

Question

Upper respiratory infectious agents are commonly transmitted from person to person.

Accepted Answer

Upper respiratory infectious agents such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi are commonly transmitted from person to person through respiratory droplets when an infected person talks, coughs, or sneezes. This is why it is important to practice good respiratory hygiene, such as covering the mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, and to wash hands regularly to prevent the spread of these agents.
