No. The health benefits of different probiotics are specific to their individual strains. This means a strain of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG might have completely different effects from Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1. This is why it is important to only consume probiotics containing specific strains of bacteria that have been proven efficacious through clinical studies. Unfortunately, many probiotic products, including supplements and yogurts, will only list the genus and species of the probiotic while leaving out the specific strain details. This means there may or may not be evidence that documents health benefits conferred by that probiotic strain.
