Bacteria Use Type IV Pili to Walk Upright and Detach from Surfaces
http://www.sciencemag.org/content/330/6001/197.abstract

Video
Newborn bacteria can walk before they crawl:
After a bacterium divides into two daughter cells, one of the daughter cells stands up, walks away, and then detaches from the surface. This new 'walking' mechanism, where the bacterium body is upright and perpendicular to the surface, is distinct from the commonly described 'crawling' movement, where a bacterium moves while lying down with its body axis parallel to the surface.
