The compound eyes of insects, while often remarkable in capability including cnhanced light sensitivity, high speed motion and even polarization detection, are adapted for survival in the macroscopic world. Because of diffraction effects in the small lenses used, microscopic objects such as an individual bacterium would be impossible to resolve. Viruses are orders of magnitude smaller. One could argue that a colony of millions of bacteria might be visible to a bug, but generally the answer would be no; the ability to see germs would simply not be a practical adaptation.
