Many thanks. Another question: model<- glm(count ~ drug*result, family = poisson)
anova(model,test="Chisq")

The pvalue of drug2 is ?0.0285 * ?,which indicates that the total count of drug2 is?significantly different?from drug1 at 0.05 level,which contradict to the result of anova. Can you give me some help about that ?
The anova tests the main effect of drug (without any other variable in the model) which is non-significant (62 vs. 64 observations). The summary gives the drug2 effect which pertains to the reference group (i.e., result = 1) and this is significant (8 vs. 20 observations). However, either result is probably not interesting. I guess the interaction (and possibly the result main effect) is the quantity of interest. Z
