<p>Disclosed is a method of cumulating and displaying the results of analysis for specific micro-organisms within a physical area. The method is performed by providing within the area multiple micro-organism analysis units (108-117), culturing samples from known locations within the physical area in micro-organism analysis units (108-117), providing, remote from the physical area, a central location capable of receiving results from analysis units (108-117). The method also includes receiving at the central location the results of analyses from the analysis units (108-117) and the location of the analysis samples and displaying the results on a micro-organism count versus time basis on a map of the physical area. A time/count reversion is then used to identify a sub-area of the area as the tentative origin of the increase in micro-organisms. The analysis units (108-117) may then be relocated to locations within the identified sub-area and the method repeated until the tentative origin is confirmed.</p> |
