The fact that NTM share many infectious traits with the causing agents of tuberculosis (TB) allows them to be used in many research studies as model organisms of infection for this disease, with the advantage of being less pathogenic and faster growing species [7, 9] . Mycogenic synthesis of AgNPs combines the best of both worlds: the most effective MNPs that nanotechnology has developed together with the green production process mediated by fungi [80] . So far, little has been explored combining the use of mycogenic AgNPs and the fight against TB and other mycobacterioses, but the efforts presented in Table 4 show the potential to exert some control over this infection and its increasing resistance.
