FT‐IR spectroscopy of carboxylic groups and viability tests were useful to understand the antibacterial properties of six highly efficient silver(I) pyridinecarboxylate (nicotinic, picolinic and isonicotinic acids) and bipiridinecarboxylate (pyridine‐2,3‐dicarboxylic, pyridine‐2,4‐dicarboxylic and pyridine‐2,5‐dicarboxylic acids) complexes with AgO and AgN bonds against E. coli (ATCC 25922) and Streptococcus agalactiae (ISP 329‐09). The results show a tendency between the nature of AgX (X=oxygen and nitrogen) bonds and the rate or efficiency of antibacterial behavior.
