Yes, it is possible to get a staph infection from sharing a toothbrush. Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium that can cause skin infections and pneumonia in humans. It is also found on human skin and hair. So it is possible for the bacteria to be transferred from one person's mouth to another person's mouth through shared toothbrushes.
