The outbreak report in The Lancet Infectious Diseases mention in the article:
Nationwide #tuberculosis outbreak in the USA linked to a bone graft product: an outbreak report
"The crisis lays bare the inadequacy of current #tuberculosis testing for tissue donations in the [USA] … There is no commercially available [#TB] test for bone tissue, which is used in spinal or dental surgeries repairing damaged bone. Even if that test existed, neither the FDA nor the American Association of Tissue Banks require companies to test their donor materials for TB."
