This study analyzed the presence of Enterococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus aureus in toothbrushes used by dentistry students and its relationship with their oral hygiene habits.Materials and Methods: Microbiological culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were used to detect Enterococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus aureus in toothbrush samples. Resistance (blaZ, mecA, vanA) and virulence genes (tst, lukS/lukF-PV, hla, hlb, hld, sea, seb, sed, sec) were screened in the S. aureus isolates.Results: Higher contamination was descriptively observed among toothbrushes stored in bathrooms and those used for ≥ 1 month. A total of 73 toothbrushes were analyzed; E. faecalis was detected in 9/73 (12.3%) and S. aureus in 4/73 (5.5%). Among the 4 S. aureus isolates, blaZ was detected in 4/4 (100%), mecA in 1/4 (25%), and vanA in 0/4 (0%). These findings reinforce the need to improve toothbrush hygiene and storage practices to reduce the risk of pathogenic transmission. The presence of a MRSA strain calls for the implementation of effective prevention and disinfection strategies, especially in dental and community settings.Keywords: toothbrushing, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA
