One of the top bacterial defenses against viruses is bacterial restriction enzymes. Various types but they all cut viral DNA at what are called restriction sites and destroy it by making the DNA of the virus not transcribed properly.

∙ 14y agoViruses do not have an active defense mechanism; if some bacterium or white blood cell (or whatever) wants to eat a virus, there is nothing the virus can do about it. Their defense lies in the fact that they are small and can reproduce very quickly, so it is hard to find them all and eat them. Their sole strategy could be described as sneakiness.
you forgot to mentiont he fact that when viruses are eatin by other cells they also have the ability to brake through the cell walls.
