The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says a glitch in its bird flu test hasn’t harmed the agency’s outbreak response.
But it has ignited scrutiny of its go-it-alone approach in testing for emerging pathogens.
The agency has quietly worked since April to resolve a nagging issue with the test it developed.
The CDC has licensed its updated test design to at least seven clinical diagnostic labs.
Such labs are the foundation of testing in the U.S. But none have FDA clearance to use them.
Recent FDA guidance could make it harder for nongovernmental labs to issue new tests in pandemics.
