Is it self-cleaning because it's soap? Or is it full of bacteria?

The soap probably has bacteria on top, but when you lather your hands any dirt from your hands or the top of the soap will become part of the soap and rinse off with it. Just make sure you lather for at least 15 seconds and rinse with warm water.

Never heard of a bar of soap to be the cause of some dread disease. Before the days of liquid soap, that is what everyone used to wash hands and body. If u were a guest in someones home or used a public restroom, a bar of soap is what was used. Supposedly, bar soap does not harbor bacteria.

A bar of soap should only be use by a single individual. You'll never see soap bars in public places or hospitals. It's best to use a pump.

I do not use bar soap because I think it's gross and full of germs! I use liquid soap for handwashing and body wash in the shower...

You found SOAP in a public bathroom???!!! Are you SURE that's what it was? Most PEOPLE aren't "self-cleaning" -so you can be pretty certain that- what ever that was- wasn't either.

If it's anti-bacterial it helps more..I work in a place that has anti-bacterial soap..but yea, it's soap, as long as you rinse it off under water first..it's ok.
Don't use it if it's soaking in it's own germs..you know,that puddle of soapy grosseness...

If it is anti-bacterial then no bacteria can not live on top of it.
