Default Can ants kill plants?

I just recently bought a beautiful deep burgundy Cordyline, left it for the
weekend with my daughter and when I came home it was wilted. :-(
On closer inspection it was riddled with red ants!
I removed it from the pot rinsed its roots and repotted it (that was 4 days
ago) it's still droopy.
I'll be so disppointed if I lose it!
I've cut back 50% of the leaves that were dying.
BTW: Happy Easter Everyone!
