Pasteurella foodborne?? Unlikely.
My experience with API NE that it is good for nonfermenters, and for the
rest it's rubbish.
Have you tried API20E already?
Oxidase, catalase, penicillin sensitivity (Past. is sensitive, at least it
still is in Holland), fermentation of some common sugars (glucose, lactose,
sucrose, maltose), urea, indole. I think that should get you somewhere.
