Bacteria divide by binary fission which simply means that one cell splits in two.

As a separate matter, there is a process called "conjugation" for transfer of genetic information that is completely different than binary fission .

Bacterial conjugation occurs between bacterial cells by direct cell-to-cell contact or through a bridge of material between two cells. Genetic material is transferred in this process.

Germs send out these little long "strings", and when they feel with their strings something warm, they climb up that string to the warm part they could live on, dropping off the other strings.

Few mate and have eggs, but most germs split apart into two germs, and grow up again, splitting apart again, and it goes on and on.

That's someone Else answer. I know the right answer is, Bactria jumps on a red blood cell then it tells the red blood cell to make copies of whatever bacteria it is so that is how it spreads it goes from one red cell to the next.

Some have flagella that they rotate as an outboard motor to move around, some have cilia that they use as oars, stroke, return, to move around and some microorganisms just go with the currents in whatever medium they are in.

Germs can multiply by reproducing very rapidly with each other. These germs eat food, drink water, and grow as well.
