Able to query and display all posts from the custom post type to a page using

<?php query_posts(‘post_type=encounters_news’); while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( ‘content-news’, ‘page’ ); ?>
<?php //comments_template( ”, true ); ?>
<?php endwhile; wp_reset_query(); ?>
<?php encounters_content_nav( ‘post-nav’ ); ?>

But I am unable to query and display just one category from the custom post. Have tried several variations of the code below.

<?php query_posts(‘post_type=encounters_news&cat=17’); while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( ‘content-news’, ‘page’ ); ?>
<?php //comments_template( ”, true ); ?>
<?php endwhile; wp_reset_query(); ?>
<?php encounters_content_nav( ‘post-nav’ ); ?>

Any suggestions?
