1. In a control system of a detection and display system, a method of providing pathogen action information to a user, comprising:
receiving, by the control system, pathogen sample information related to a pathogen associated with an environmental surface of a first location of a facility, the pathogen sample information identifying a size of a pathogen colony associated with the pathogen;
correlating, by the control system, 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;
executing, by the control system, 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;
transmitting, by the control system, pathogen action information related to the subsequent location of the facility, and associated with the predicted probability of pathogen contamination, to an output device;
displaying, by the control system, a graphical representation of a map of the facility on the output device;
highlighting on the graphical representation of the map of the facility, by the control system, the first location and the subsequent location having the predicted probability of pathogen contamination; and
highlighting on the graphical representation of the map of the facility, by the control system, the predicted pathogen contamination at the environmental surface of the subsequent location.
