  abstract = {{B}ackground: {I}nfectious diseases remain a major public health problem worldwide. {H}ence, their surveillance is critical. {C}urrently, many surveillance strategies and systems are in use around the world. {A}n inventory of the data, surveillance strategies, and surveillance systems developed worldwide for the surveillance of infectious diseases is presented herein, with emphasis on the role of the microbiology laboratory in surveillance. {M}ethods: {T}he data, strategies, and systems used around the world for the surveillance of infectious diseases and pathogens, along with current issues and trends, were reviewed. {R}esults: {T}welve major classes of data were identified on the basis of their timing relative to infection, resources available, and type of surveillance. {T}wo primary strategies were compared: disease-specific surveillance and syndromic surveillance. {F}inally, 262 systems implemented worldwide for the surveillance of infections were registered and briefly described, with a focus on those based on microbiological data from laboratories. {C}onclusions: {T}here is currently a wealth of available data on infections, which has been growing with the recent emergence of new technologies. {C}oncurrently with the expansion of computer resources and networks, these data will allow the optimization of real-time detection and notification of infections.},
