The absence of micro-organisms that cause septic disease (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

asepsis

(Other definitions for asepsis that I've seen before include "Absence of viruses and other microorganisms" , "exclusion of micro-organisms" , "Given freedom from infection" , "germ-free state" , "freedom from germs" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
