They mutate so that they could keep their "identity". Think of the bacteria as a big time criminal. In order for the criminal to escape the police, it would change its identity and maybe change its entire face and body; it's the same with the bacteria. Once the organism had gotten used to/ found a cure, they would mutate.
Answer:
Its not so much as they mutate as some are better than others at using a new food source, temperature etc. The bacteria that do better reproduce more and eventually form the majority of the population. This adaptive behavior of a population is the driving force for all evolution.

When can mutations become adaptations?
When bacteria mutate to adapt to the body, which makes it harder for scientists to create antibiotics for them, as some people stop using antibiotics before the time which the doctors tell them to. This makes the bacteria become stronger against antibiotics.
