You did the proper procedure by washing your hands. No infection transmission possible. In future be aware if you have open cuts or wounds on hand and touch unknown objects, wash your hands with hot water and place topical antibiotic on hands.

Infections are caused by microorganisms, not by toothpaste. Washing your hands was prudent.
