Bacteria are visible. The plaque on your teeth, or such foods as cheese is mostly bacteria, and you can see it.

So, if you are looking at one bacterum, only the largest bacterium can be seen with the naked human eye, since they are single-celled organisms. However, for most bacterium, you need visual enhancers, such as a microscope, to see a single specimine, because most types of bacteria are too small for the naked human eye.
