Bacteria can be attacked by viruses known as bacteriophages. The bacteriophage may cause the bacterium to lyse (split open) effectivly killing the bacteria. Sometimes the bacteriophage places its DNA onto the bacteria's DNA (lysogeny) this would make the bacteria reproduce more slowly and could cause the bacteria other problems depending where the bacteriophage's DNA was placed. So, I suppose bacteria can get viruses and get sick or even die.

This quicker and more effective response is what helps prevent a person from getting sick upon subsequent encounters with the same pathogen.
