Fermented Foods: is pasteurised ok, or not?

Good morning

I'm a senior citizen, and no sort of health professional, but (naturally) self-interested in good nutrition. The recent link to the article about the benefits of fermented foods on one's biome prompts me to ask whether it matters that those foods have been pasteurised. There's a wide choice of sauerkraut variations, for instance, but I've not yet found any that aren't labelled as pasteurised. Wouldn't pasteurisation kill off the live cultures that bring the benefits?
