When a person is infected with bacteria how long can the bacteria live on objects or in the air?
It depends on what type of bacteria caused the infection. Different types of bacteria have different temperature and conditional requirements to stay alive. Most likely if the infection was caused by a common bacteria, it will have a very short life span in the air or on open objects. Areas of high concern include areas that have standing or residual water and are warm, as that is optimal living conditions for bacteria.
