Propolis that had been phytochemicals test, was testedusing Standard Plate Count (SPC) method to know the antibacterial activity it has. Results showed adecrease colony of E. faecalis after treated with various concentrations of propolis extract. The highestquantity of colonies was founded in concentration 20% is 74.7 x 106 CFU / mL and the least quantityof colonies at a concentration 100% is 7.3 x 106 CFU / mL.
