Do cells get sick?
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.

Is salmonella a virus?
No. They are bacteria. Viruses are non-living particles. They make you sick by landing on a living cell, reproducing using the cell, and then destroying the cell. The new viruses do the same. Bacteria are living single-celled organisms. The few that make you sick (about 1/15 of bacteria are pathogenic, meaning make you sick) make you sick by taking the nutrients out of other living cells. So, technically, since bacteria and viruses are completely different things, I don't think there's a such thing as a bacterial virus as one organism
