All the patients with ≥01 year of age of either gender presented with fever and chills, headache were recruited and enrolled in the study. All the relevant patients had urine examination, such as urine culture and sensitivity for the presence of urinary tract infection and the pattern of sensitivity and resistance of cephalosporin. The frequency and percentage was calculated for categorical variables and mean ±SD was calculated for numerical variables. As this was descriptive case series so no statistical test of significance was applied. Results: During one year study period, total one hundred thirty (130) patients were studied with means age 52.84±8.82 (SD). Of one hundred thirty (130), 57 (43.8%) were males and 73 (56.1%) were females. The sensitivity and resistance for cephalosporin was observed in 30 (23%) and 100 (77%) respectively. Conclusion: Antimicrobial resistant rates are expanding consistently for cephalosporin expected to apply clinical adequacy in the treatment of UTI because of their far reaching, and mistaken use in our population.
