title: Free-Wilson analysis of the antibacterial activity of fluoronaphthyridines against various microbes. A new application of indicator variables.
abstract: The quantitative structure-activity relationship of the antibacterial activity of eighteen fluoronaphthyridines against nine species of bacteria was analyzed by the Free-Wilson method. A new indicator variable, which designates the species of bacteria, was useful in predicting the antibacterial activity against the various microbes.
