Should the word antibiotic be capitalized in middle of a sentence?

No, the word "antibiotic" should not be capitalized in the middle of a sentence.

Here's why:

* Common Noun: "Antibiotic" is a common noun, referring to a general class of drugs. Common nouns are not capitalized unless they are at the beginning of a sentence or part of a proper noun.

* Not a Proper Noun: Proper nouns are specific names of people, places, or things (e.g., John, London, Mars). "Antibiotic" is not a specific name.

Example:

* Correct: The doctor prescribed an antibiotic for the infection.

* Incorrect: The doctor prescribed an Antibiotic for the infection.
