To move in the environment, bacteria use several types of translocation. Sliding is a passive meth-od of movement, which is carried out due to the expansive force, which increases during cell division. This re-view describes the sliding mechanism, different types of sliding mobility, from other types of bacteria. In addi-tion, a classification of sliding types is used, surface active substances used by cells to slide. However, it is worth noting that bacterial slide mechanisms need further investigation.
