In addition to providing maximal nutritional value for neonatal growth and development, human milk functions as an early defense mechanism against invading pathogens. Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), which are abundant in human milk, are a diverse group of heterogeneous carbohydrates with wide ranging protective effects. In addition to promoting the colonization of beneficial intestinal flora, HMOs serve as decoy receptors, effectively blocking the attachment of pathogenic bacteria and viruses. HMOs also function as bacteriostatic agents, inhibiting the growth of gram-positive bacteria. Based on this precedence, an emerging area in the field has focused on characterizing the antiviral properties of HMOs. Indeed, HMOs have been evaluated for their potential as antiviral agents, with many shown to possess activity against life-threatening infections. This targeted review provides insight to the known glycan-binding interactions between select HMOs and influenza, rotavirus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and norovirus. Additionally, we review the role of HMOs in preventing necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), an intestinal disease linked to viral infections. We close with a discussion of what is known, broadly regarding human milk oligosaccharides and their interactions with coronaviruses.
