Compositions and methods for rapid detection of

1. A primer selected from the group consisting of a forward primer having the nucleic acid sequence:

(SEQ ID NO: 3)

5′-GACTCGATATCGAGTCTTTCCAC[mC]GAAATAC[mC][mG][mC]

[mC][mA]-3′

and a reverse primer having the nucleic acid sequence:

(SEQ ID NO: 4 )

5′-GACTCGATATCGAGTCTTTCCGG[mC]ATCATTATTATCTTTG[mU]

[mG][mA][mA][mC]-3′,

wherein “m” preceding a nucleotide indicates the position of a 2′ modification on the nucleotide.
