If an organism feeds on bacteria, does that make it a carnivore?

It's a bacteriovore (this is a real term).
Carnivore is a term used to describe animals that eat other animals.

No, carnivorous means something that eats the flesh of other animals. Bacteria are not animals, they aren't even eukaryotes.

i don't think so. because bacteria isn't "meat".
