Bacteria have small tentacles called flagellum that move them. {Some without these tentacles are moved by the rushing of fluids passing by them}.

In Eukaryotes, cilia perform the same function, Motility.

There is something called a Flagella: a flagella is found at the back of bacteria and is basically a tail with which they can move around and navigate their way around.

bacteria and most prokaryotic organisms move by the use of flagella bacteria and most prokaryotic organisms move by the use of flagella (s. flagellum), thread like locomotor appendages extending outward from the plasma membrane and cell wall. Bacterial flagella are selender, rigid, about 20nm across and up to 15 to 20 micrometer long. Flagella are so thin they can not be observed directly with a bright field microscope, bust must be stained with a special techinques designed to increase their thickness.

Transferring surfaces. If you touch a surface, they will transfer to the spot on your body that you touched from that surface. However, if you clean that surface off with a good cleaning wipe or some soap, then the bacteria can't do that as they will have died.
