Claim 10:
11. A pathogen detection and display system, comprising:
a collection device configured to retrieve a sample from a facility;
a reading device configured to receive the sample from the collection device, to process the sample, and to generate pathogen sample information related to the sample;
a control system disposed in electrical communication with the reading device; and
an output device disposed in electrical communication with the control system;
wherein the control system is configured to:
receive pathogen sample information related to a pathogen associated with an environmental surface of a first location of the facility, the pathogen sample information identifying a size of a pathogen colony associated with the pathogen;
correlate the pathogen sample information with a set of pathogen transmission factors, each pathogen transmission factor of the set of pathogen transmission factors associated with transmission of the pathogen within the facility;
execute a discriminant analysis based upon the set of pathogen transmission factors to predict a probability of pathogen contamination at an environmental surface of a subsequent location of the facility based upon the pathogen sample information;
predict a probability of pathogen contamination at an environmental surface of a subsequent location of the facility based upon the pathogen sample information;
transmit pathogen action information related to the subsequent location of the facility, and associated with the predicted probability of pathogen contamination, to the output device;
display a graphical representation of a map of the facility on the output device;
highlight on the graphical representation of the map of the facility the first location and the subsequent location having the predicted probability of pathogen contamination; and
highlight on the graphical representation of the map of the facility the predicted pathogen contamination at the environmental surface of the subsequent location.
