A virus, such as a cold or flu can so blast your immune system, that you become very susceptible to bacterial infections, such as pneumonia. But the virus itself doe not change into a bacteria. You are correct that some virus are RNA and not DNA, but either way they cannot convert into a bacteria. Marshall
