There are many different types of bacteria that grow on doorknobs, including, but not limited to: * entameba * balantidium * giardia * trichomona * e coli These, as well as other bacteria, also grow on other surfaces. The single most effective way to prevent this is hand washing. That is why it is so important to always wash your hands every time you come home after going anywhere. You can't depend on others to wash their hands to keep surfaces that you come into contact with clean, so you have to make sure to keep your hands clean to prevent these germs from infecting you, and making you sick. It's also a good idea to get in the habit of cleaning your doorknobs, light switches, faucet handles, etc. with a disinfectant on regular basis.

What is Fomite borne diseases?
A fomite is any object that can facilitate horizontal bacteria transmission of bacteria or virus (person to person). Almost every object on earth could theoretically act as a fomite. A good example would be a doorknob: Someone with an infection (that has the infection-causing bacteria on their hands) touches a doorknob, then you touch that doorknob and then touch your nose or mouth, then you get the infection. The doorknob acted as a fomite, and you just got a fomite borne infection. Another example would be food: Someone with an infection sneezes on your food (or near your food), then you eat that food, then you get the infection. The food acted as a fomite, and you just got a fomite borne infection.
