Yes! With a big ol asterisk. Yogurts are typically fermented with lactobacillus sp., as opposed to the genera listed in this study.

Nice! I couldn't find any dealing with the Bifidobacterium too but it seems like there are yogurt starters with Bifidobacterium specifically and both Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus.

Does this mean I should eat more yogurt?

We probably won't know the right answer to that question for a few decades from now.
Once fecal microbiota transplantation becomes a thing (for IBS/Chron's/C. difficile colitis patients) and we collect longitudinal data of donors and recipients over a span of decades will we have a probable answer to that question.

My gut feeling is yes though.
