Pertussis is not easy to survive in the external environment, it can only grow and reproduce in the upper respiratory tract mucosa, and spread with droplets. Knowing the route of transmission is helpful to take effective measures for prevention.

Secondly, the transmission route of pertussis is mainly through the droplets when coughing, and it is possible to inhale bacteria within 2m around the patient.
