Do you have any books on medicine?
There isn't any sugar in my tea.
There isn't any university out there.
Thank you, MashUK.
I understand what you're trying to say.
Then, what about these sentences below?

a.I don't like dogs.
b.I don't like any dogs.

Would you think the sentence a. is unacceptable?

Thank you.
