An amoeba moves with pseudopodia. This means that it extends a part of its cellular material towards where it wants to go, and then moves the rest of its body into position. The extension is called a pseudopod, from the Greek for "almost a foot." Creatures that move via pseudopodia are called amoeboids, because the amoeba is the best known organism of this type.
A paramecium is called a ciliate because it moves via cilia. Cilia are fine hairs on the paramecium's body. They move in synch with each other, like rowers on an ancient ship, propelling the paramecium forward.
A euglena has a flagellum, which is a structure that resembles a tail, so it is called a flagellate. The flagellum moves in an S shape (The flagella of other organisms may move like a whip, instead.) and propels the euglena forward.

they swim in fluids present in an organism bigger than them. if you are referring to how they transfer, that is if someone ingested an organism where these bacteria are present.
