CATHETER = INFECTION: Any catheter in place will result in a urinary infection after a week off antibiotics and you almost certainly have a UTI after 2 weeks even iy you are on antibiotics. Cloudy & dark urine are also most often associated with utis. Thus catheter should be removed as soon as possible. Intermittent catheterization can be instituted if you are unable to void + appropriate antibiotics. Good luck.
