'Species' refers to a type of probiotic existing within a genus. For example, acidophilus is the name of a species within the Lactobacillus genus. Different species within the same genus (eg, acidophilus and rhamnosus) are generally considered to be more closely related to each other than species from other genera (such as the infantis species in the Bifidobacteria genus).
Different manufacturers offer probiotics from the same genus and species, however one should note the different strains used.
