Yes- Bacterial viruses are called bacteriophages. Some examples are T4 and T7 phages. They are complex DNA viruses that attach themselves to the cell surface and then inject their DNA to the inside of the bacteria.

Bacteria have enzymes called restriction enzymes that cleave DNA at specific sites called restriction sites. These enzymes are the bacterium's defense against phages.
