Yes!!, Viruses are non cellular parasitic agents. They are not included in the classification of organisms. They consist of two parts: and outer capsid(composed of proteins) and an inner core of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA). They can only reproduce inside a living cell.

Does a cytosol have bacteria?

Yes they do. Cytosol is the matrix within which all the cellular mechanisms occur. There is no organism as such that does not have the cytosol. Viruses obviously do not have a cytosol because they are not organisms. Viruses are obligate parasites which can multiply only within a particular host.
