[Mycology] Are yeasts analogous to each other, to the point they can be used in food interchangeably?

Amouranth, the Kick streamer, is allegedly brewing beer with her vaginal yeast. It’s an obvious publicity stunt to squeeze more money from her impressionable and “thirsty” audience.

Gross-factor aside, is this even possible? Is it analogous to brewer’s yeast? Would this cause undesirable side effects or introduce undesirable compounds?

You can make beer with any kind of yeast. You can make good beer with only certain yeast.

The kind of yeast in question can’t produce alcohol as far as I can tell, only lactic acid. Edit: Lactobacillus not yeast
