Bacteria do not breathe in the sense that we do, but many do require oxygen. These are called aerobic bacteria. Some bacteria will use oxygen if it is present, but can function without it. These are called facultative anaerobes. Still other bacteria will die if exposed to oxygen. These are called obligate anaerobes.
