description Objective: to identify the presence of bacteria on the hands of children from the Zenobio Quiñones Educational Unit in the Municipality of Vinto. Methodology:  a descriptive, cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach conducted on 52 first-grade primary school students. Samples were cultured, and isolated bacteria were identified. The data obtained were analyzed using Microsoft Excel. Results: : both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria were identified. Gram-positive bacteria were more abundant, representing 75% of the bacteria found. Staphylococcus aureus was the most prevalent, accounting for 50%, followed by Staphylococcus epidermidis (11,46%) and Streptococcus spp. (10,42%). Among Gram-negative bacteria, the most abundant was Pseudomonas (15,63%), followed by Escherichia coli (5,21%). Conclusion: Bacterial presence was detected on the hands of all samples. Therefore, it is necessary to propose educational actions on handwashing to reinforce hygiene habits in educational settings and at home to prevent diseases.
