hi everyone! just needed assistance with my unknown bacteria, which I believe is C. freundii

I have plenty of images if needed, I was under the impression it was E. coli but I believe not due to my IMViC testing.

bile esculin (negative) -
maconkey + (was pink but mucoid spreading)
hektoen + growth was also yellow and salmon color
EMB + growth and had metallic green sheet (which is why i thought e.coli)
O/F yellow + for both and I had motility
phenol red, + for fermentation many sugars yellow only two orange which I incubated longer
catalase weak + bubbles but not a lot
phenylalanine - no green
lysine decarboxylase (-) yellow. ornithine (-) yellow
citrate (+)
nitrate to nitrite (+)
MR - VP mr + vp -
SIM positive for h2s gas, motility
Indole (-)
oxidase (-)
