Geographical distribution of L. helveticus strains. The diversity of slpH loci present in NWC samples collected from cheese factories in (a) Villarzel, (b) Corcelles-le-Jorat, (c) Brenles, (e) Semsales, (f) Le Crêt, (g) Châtel-St. Denis, (h) Autigny, (i) Chénens, (k) Les Monts de Travers, (l) La Brévine, (m) La Sagne, (n) Le Cerneux-Péquignot, (o) Orsonnens, (p) La Praz, and (q) Penthéréaz were analyzed by amplicon-based semiconductor sequencing. Borders between provinces and countries are indicated by black lines. Dark gray areas indicate lakes. The relative abundance (%) of each sequence type (ST) is represented by the height of the relative color in the stacked barplot for each sample.
