Original Note:
While Lactobacillus, a bacterial genus, is used to produce yoghurt & is present in the vagina, the species used to produce yoghurt are not the same as those in the vagina. It's like saying leopards & lions are the same because they are in the same genus (Panthera). https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.004107 https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/should-you-use-probiotics-for-your-vagina-2019122718592 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s12934-020-01464-4 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0168160511004004
