Abstract: The ulin plant is a typical plant that can be found in Indonesia. This plant is used traditionally, one of which is mouthwash. In this study, antibacterial biocativity testing was carried out on the ulin plant bark in each extract. Preparation of ulin plant bark extracts using the multistage maceration method and antibacterial testing using the disc diffusion method and measured based on the diameter of the inhibition zone. There were three extracts produced, hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol extracts. Each extract was tested for antibacterial using Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. The results showed that hexane and ethyl acetate extracts were included in the category of moderate antibacterial compounds while methanol extracts were included in the strong antibacterial category. So it can be concluded that methanol extract is the most potential extract as antibacterial.
