Answer:

Because anti-salmonella the woman's immune system to recognize the pathogen (salmonella) and kills it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Anti-salmonella is a serum containing inactive salmonella serotypes. They are effective in cases of salmonella infection where antibiotic use did not work and the patient's immune system was unable to recognize the pathogen and kill it. Anti-salmonella serum allows the patient's immune system to adapt, recognize the pathogen and get it expelled from the patient's body.
