Keladi tikus (Typhonium flagelliforme (Lodd) Blume is a plant that has many benefits in - health such as anticancer, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antihepatotoxic. This study aims to determine the antibacterial and antioxidant activity of different extracts of leaves T. flagelliforme. The agar diffusion method used in the antibacterial activity; DPPH, the FTC and the TBA method used in the antioxidant activity. The results showed the ethyl acetate, n-butanol and water fraction had antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, while the n-hexane fraction had no activity against bacteria tested. The results of antioxidant activity by DPPH method, the FTC and the TBA showed ethyl acetate fraction was the most active (IC50 = 56.32ppm) fraction among others
