Epsom salts, like most salts, has the effect of being a desiccant, or water absorber. When the Epsom is dissolved in water, the salinity of the water increases. And when it exceeds the salinity of the bacterium, it will osmotically draw water out of the bacterium, thus desiccating it. As such, this makes a slightly undesirable habitat for the bacteria. Epsom salts won't actually draw out infection, nor is it a very good antiseptic.
