Is Keflex Effective In The Treatment Of A UTI?

I am being treated for Klebselia . It showed up on a Urine Culture. My GP prescribed Keflex 250 mg 3 x a day. Will this take care of this infection ? I have an Ileostomy due to Crohn's Disease. Have had this Ileostomy since 1999. Haven't had this type of issue for nearly the 20 years of having this Ileostomy. This is embarrassing to me. Thank You for addressing my concerns about this issue.
