    Research papers in biomedical fields are likely included in various databases which subject coverage is different among them. The author reported in her previous publications that each database has unique subject coverage and is differentiated each other in terms of descriptors indexed in it when she studied indexing of papers on Staphylococcus aureus and antibiotics. In this paper the author analyzed indexing field of papers on Escherichia coli and antibiotics in MEDLINE, EMBASE and BIOSIS which were found to be unique for indexing by descriptors according to her previous study. It results that differences or features in indexing peculiar to each database are almost same regardless kinds of bacteria dealt with in papers as those in the previous study. Analysis by Quantification Theory III particularly shows that each database tends to be characteristic in descriptors indexed to those papers as seen in that in MEDLINE descriptors in categories of “biological science”, “persons” are preferably assigned, descriptors in categories of “chemicals and drugs”, “diseases” is in EMBASE, and descriptors in categories of “organisms” is in BIOSIS.
