Can retroviruses enter and successfully infect bacteria?

Absolutely! Biotechnology has a department devoted the study. Viruses, even retroviruses, can invade a bacteria cell and cause DNA mutation. It's quite fascinating actually. A new type of insulin was created and ultimately produced in vast quantity due to virus infection technology. It''s absolutely possible!!!
