The study included 10 dentists of the city of Foz do Iguaçu, state of Paraná, Brazil, who signed an informed consent form according to the ethics committee on human research. Microbiological samples were collected from coats using the rolling swab technique, passing a single swab moist in BHI medium in the collar, cuffs and pockets.
