Well altough it is technically not a cure by itself it does act as a treatment neutralizing the bacteria and by doing so it can lead to the bacteria being fully eliminated.

Enzyme 42 is judging by the description a Antibody. Antibodies are special proteins normally created by the immune system, they attach to invading micro-organism neutralizing them by making them unable to perform the function they may need to survive (like infecting a cell), which leaves them far more susceptible to other parts of the immune system. They won't cure you by themselves, but are instrumental in the body's fight against the invader.

So assuming that by neutralizing the bacteria it is incapable of the functionality to survive in your body it will end up getting eliminated anyway.
