    Escherichia coli are the most common cause of urinary tract infections worldwide and they are the fourth leading cause of health care associated infections. The objective of this study was detection of Beta-lactamase TEM gene in Escherichia coli Isolates Collected from Urine Samples in Khartoum State – Sudan. A total of 96 of Escherichia coli were isolated from different hospitals in Khartoum State. The present study showed that the percentage of infection in females (64/96) (66.7%) were more than the percentage of infection in males (32/96) (33.3%). There was high prevalence rate of Escherichia coli urinary tract infection within the age group (25-44) (35.4%). Out of 96 isolated Escherichia coli 76(79.2%) were positive for TEM gene. Further studies with large number of samples and more advanced techniques are required to validate the results of the present study.
