No. It's the other way around. Certain types of viruses (bacteriophage) will target bacteria, and they use the bacteria to reproduce the virus, called the Lytic cycle: The virus DNA or RNA enters the bacteria, takes over and new viruses are produced and when they break out of the cell through the membrane they destroy the bacteria in the process.
