Flucloxacillin is a beta-lactam penicillin, active against beta-lactamase producers like S. aureus. It's chosen against Gram-positive bacteria, to counter those that procuce b-lactmase (which attacks pennicillin), and for infections that resist pennicillin. That said, unless you know that your infection requires these features, I'd not start with this med. Ask your doc. If your infection isn't a Gram-positive bacteria, this won't work at all.

Can you use staphylex for urine infection?
Flucloxacillin can be used to treat the urinary tract infection. Use of isolated flucloxacillin is not recommended for this condition. As it has little antibacterial activity of it's own. It should be used preferably with ampicillin or amoxicillin. (Resistance to flucloxacillin was reported for the first time, in London, in 1964, by staphylococci.)
