ELI5: Do bacteria suffer the effects of inbreeding?

With inbreeding, the chance of harmful genes being inherited by offspring increases, but it's effects usually don't become apparent until several generations of a family inbreed. 

Bacteria are asexual, so they pass on a near identical (or identical) copy of their genes to all their offspring. Since this DNA is the same, do bacteria also suffer from the negative effects of inbreeding? Wouldn't this eventually cause an entire bacterial family to die out?

Since there is no breeding with bacteria, there can be no inbreeding.  Bacteria do have a mechanism for exchanging genes but it's very different from sex.  Inbreeding happens with the mother and father both suffer the same genetic defect, but there are no mother and father bacteria.
